Spindle vs Originals Felt Piano
Spindle wins on consistent quality; Originals Felt Piano demands more user adjustment but offers broader sonic range.
Spindle delivers an intimate, dark upright sound with immediate satisfaction. Users report simple setup and effective results. Its consistent quality supports film scoring and ambient work. This out-of-the-box performance means less user intervention is needed.
Originals Felt Piano offers rich tone and versatility, with a distinctive velvety sound from ribbon mics. Its sound design options include a jangle box and adjustable mechanical noises. However, users frequently note issues with velocity sensitivity, requiring mod wheel use for dynamics. This creates workflow friction during performance.
Choose Spindle if seeking reliable, immediate sound quality without extensive tweaking. Choose Originals Felt Piano if willing to manage dynamic limitations for its unique atmospheric character and sound design flexibility.
