Following the success of our Ravenscroft 275 Acoustic Piano, introduced in 2009, and its subsequent digitization by VI Labs Audio in 2014, Ravenscroft Pianos continues to focus an handcrafting the finest pianos in the world from its new headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona. Artists around the globe have benefitted, and enjoyed our unique philosophy as the only acoustic piano manufacturer that endorses, licenses, or joint ventures, in a direct-sponsored arrangement, for the digital sampling of every size piano that they produce.

VI Labs Audio was selected to sample the 275 Performance Grand Piano, an instrument built specifically for that recording project. This fusion of VI Labs Audio and Ravenscroft Pianos became a triumph in Virtual Instruments. The UVl-based result continues to be one of the top produced VI products globally and is the gold standard as the "go-to" for discriminating artists.
