PianoTry · MIDI piano
Your keyboard. A beautiful grand piano sound.
Turn an inexpensive MIDI controller into a grand piano using PianoTry's expressive Yamaha C5 samples — right in your browser. No Logic, GarageBand or expensive software required.
Your piano, your music
Play the grand piano
No DAW, installation or account. Just your MIDI keyboard and our sampled piano.
Play a connected MIDI keyboard or tap a key here. Scroll sideways on smaller screens.
Touch matters. Softer and harder playing selects different recorded piano samples.
Sustain pedal? A standard MIDI sustain pedal (CC64) works, too.
Privacy. The MIDI notes stay in your browser. No recording or account required.
What do I need?
A USB MIDI keyboard, a computer with a supported browser such as Chrome or Edge, and speakers or headphones. The keyboard doesn't need its own sounds. Connect it, click Connect MIDI keyboardand permit the browser to access MIDI devices.
Is this really a grand piano?
You're hearing recordings of a Yamaha C5 grand piano, not the physical key action of one. The sound responds to how hard you play, and the sustain pedal works on compatible MIDI controllers. All audio is rendered locally in your browser.
Can I use it on an iPhone or in Safari?
Safari doesn't currently include native Web MIDI support. If your browser can't connect a MIDI keyboard, you can still tap the virtual keys. On a Mac, Chrome or Edge is the simplest option.
