Sorry if a bit OT, but: anyone know of a good free or cheap piano VSTi that runs in Linux (native or wine)?

I'm considering putting together a Reaper-on-Raspberry-Pi thing running a piano VSTi in it and triggering with a midi controller keyboard... basically so I can play piano gigs with a lightweight keyboard and a tiny box that makes the piano sound. :-) Not sure how realistic this is. E.g. how well midi would work into the Pi, if the Pi could handle a synth, etc. (And I could use a different host besides Reaper, I know; might be nice to record the midi, though.)

I see that Pianoteq runs on linux, but I'm hoping not to spend that kind of money. I can start down the list of cheap / free piano VSTs and see what works, but thought I would ask first.

Thanks for any ideas.
