Electric Grand 80 Piano is a Waves virtual instrument, and the Electric Grand 80 Black Friday deal takes 62% off, which puts it at $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.

The maker lists Phil Collins, Elton John, ABBA, U2, Toto, Hall & Oates and Billy Joel among the pop acts whose records leaned on this sound.
The maker describes it as more focused than an acoustic piano and more complex than a tine-based electric piano.
In practice, that means:
If you are chasing that 80s pop and R&B piano tone in the box, this Electric Grand 80 VST gives you the sampled instrument to play it.
Chords and single-note leads are the two roles the maker highlights, so it covers both the harmonic bed and the top line of a song.
