Not sure you'll find a good one that is free. However, an excellent set of pianos is included in the PlugSound Volume 1 (Keyboards), which sells for around $55. If you have a softsampler, you might look into any of the SampleTekk pianos, many of which are for the next few days are only $25 each. (A group buy. Excellent pianos.) On the other hand, if you have a soundfont player that can load as a vsti, search this forum for links to Matt Helgesson's Maestro piano.

The cheaper and the best ($$$ vs quality) is the Equinox FREE Steinway D & Yamaha C7
grand pianos in Soundfont (SF2) Format at the address: http://www.geocities.jp/shansoundfont/equinoxpiano.html
You can use this with the excellent VST Soundfont player SFZ fro RGCAudio (also FREE):

All with excellent quality and FREE,
you can complete it with the also excellent anfd FREE Glaceverb:

If you need some tweakability, you can add SFZ Buddy (also Free) to access the hidden parameters of
SFZ Player: Reverb, Chorus, Enveloppe Controls:

And then you have a decent piano with controls and FX for FREE:
I use that in my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pentium M 1.73 Ghz)
before render (not always) with Art Vista piano and Altiverb
in my studio machine

Thanks aleph75 !
I am downloading now. I listened to the demos , and it sounded fine. I suspect that the dynamics is not the best.

I use the sfz a lot, and a 92 mb soundfont is usable even on my old laptop.

I also agree about the "Glaceverb". It is very good.

All the best
