I was hoping this was an open-source physical model of a piano.
Pianoteq has been around for 17 years -- as long as patents last! -- and yet open source still seems to have nothing that comes close.

The resulting combinatorial explosion means that the number of samples you need to capture, in order to have a high-fidelity reproduction of a physical piano, is enormous.
Putting aside the practicality of capturing all of this, you're still looking at tens to hundreds of gigabytes of raw samples per piano.
(Great question, by the way.)
