Do the highs on my piano sound strange to you?

This is a sampled piano vst (virtual studio technology) that I've been eq'ing. And this is the best sound I can manage so far.

I pretty much like everything about it except for the low mids (they sound a bit hollow) & the highs (they sound a bit weird when I'm not listening on my hifi setup). Especially that specific note before the last chord.

I do have the timbre/tone of the piano turned to a lower setting. And that may give an older piano feel. Like it's not completely in tune. But I'm not sure that's it. 🤔

How do you feel about the highs? Do they sound strange through your headphones?

I didn't think they did. I'm listening through some cheap bass boosted headphones. But that note before the last chord sounds... flat 🤔 I really don't know much about music but something is making that note sound flat and to me it sounds like its lacking sharpness 🤔 despite being a high note. I don't know though man. I know jack about this stuff. Anyways, hope you get it sorted out and to your liking.

Oh okay 🤔 in that case, it just might be the timbre. But I'll check and see if any of my eq's are the cause for that note
