Now the Italian Grand is available as a standalone product (for Mac and PC) and is no longer just an expansion pack for existing Ivory users. This means that you can purchase an amazing Italian grand piano for just £89!

this is certainly a news item worthy of inclusion in some section of MacMusic. However, IMHO it does not belong in this forum, whose purpose is discussion and support of technical and artistic challenges facing individuals. I do not welcome corporate flacking here.

Difficult to part between the potential advert or the die hard fan…

Spaced (and others) this kind of input is better in the news (you can write them) to keep the place somehow as advert free in the posts as possible. If one product seems a wonder for you, write and article, an how-to, and submit it to us (see the team listing) it'll be great and more user oriented.
