I was listening to some Gibran Alcocer songs and I really liked the piano he uses. What VST was used in these songs?
And how could I configure one to sound like his?

What VST can I get to sound like a piano like the one Gibran Alcocer uses?

He´s using a piano to emulate the sound of a mexican Harp and guitar from yucatan (it´s called Trova yucateca).
To me, it sounds more like an harp. So you should check kontakt, a good harp library, a filter and reverb. And check the Decay and release from the instrument. Or maybe a VST like Pianoteq Pro which includes harp and classic guitar.

Sounds to me like a "felt" piano, with a layer that sounds a bit metallic, subtly. And as mentioned, reverb. Curious, now.

There is a lot of key/hammer noise on those tracks. It even sounds kind of blown out a bit like it’s mic’d right at the hammers and compressed or something. I know pianoteq has the ability to turn that noise up. Maybe use a compressor then into a reverb.

I found this on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/musichaiku/com ... n_alcocer/
It sounds closer than most people trying to do their songs. Look at how he's mic'd up. Most of the piano examples I found just focused on the notes being played and not the sound of the piano. I found one sample that was particularly shrill... it sounds like he just EQ'd it really bright. This Reddit example I think is very much in the ballpark of what the original artist is doing. You can very clearly hear the noise from the action on the piano itself. Pianoteq does have this feature and you can (within pianoteq) add compression and reverb. I was even able to get the noise to sound a bit blown out (gain and ratio). The noise is under damper noise is under "Action".
