 You'd certainly have to do *multisampling* of each key, so that a range of
 dynamic effects could be obtained.  Part of the difficulty in sampling
 real acoustic instruments involves how you map *performance hooks*
 (timbral variations with velocity, etc.) with the sampling hardware and
 software you have at hand. >>

I have seen CDs out of Rachmaninoff playing Rachmaninoff.  They used rolls
that recorded how long and how hard Rachmaninoff was playing.  If we had rolls
from Gould (I know that they don't exist), couldn't this be used to get the
*multisampling* ?
