    I use Lexicon myself but if you want to stick with ValhallaRoom (I use it also for a lot of sounds, especially drum elements) you might find some interesting custom made presets from Sean Costello himself (from Valhalla).

    https://valhalladsp.com/2011/05/27/valhallaroom-tips-and-tricks-unnatural-hall-reverbs/ (this one has a Lexicon 224 Concert Hall emulation included for piano)
    There are more in his blog like short-drum-rooms and gated-reverbs but keys need a big space IMO. :)

    This sounds really good to me. Waves GW PianoCentric Stereo. It's a delay but, do not go against the wise bearded do ragged cat avatar! He will smoke you.

    I think any cathedral/hall reverb should do it in no time. And maybe some release, in case you're not satisfied. You can do that with any reverb plugin basically.

    Adrien I think Valhalla Vintage Verb is better than Room. And Stellar from Boscomac is beautiful but to much effected. Piano Verb 2 is also excellent for pianos.

    Maybe try playing with some impulse responses? And/Or adding some additional post-reverb EQ if not already doing so?

    I use Valhalla mostly, Lexicon too.

    but for piano, i'd say 112db Redline Reverb could be a good look for you.


    It's versatile and has a great overall sound.
