BOZ DIGITAL Boz Ningbo Felt 2021 Lite

The quiet intimacy of felted strings

Ningbo Felt 2021 offers a quiet, expressive voice shaped by felted strings and a naturally intimate recording space. The tone is soft and subdued, with gentle attacks and a warm, muted resonance that invites slower playing and subtle dynamics. It’s a piano built for restraint, ideal for cinematic scoring, ambient textures, and moments that need to feel personal.

Sampled from the same upright as Ningbo Upright 2021, this version was recorded with the felt engaged across all registers. Five stereo microphone positions capture its full character, from close and focused to spacious and atmospheric, giving you control over how the piano sits in your mix without losing its quiet charm.

The Piano

This piano speaks in hushed tones. With the felt engaged, each note emerges gently, softened at the edges and wrapped in warmth. The attack is subdued, the resonance quiet, and the overtones held back just enough to let the silence between notes carry weight.

It’s a sound built for restraint. The felt dampens not just volume, but urgency, creating a space where the music feels personal and unforced. It invites slower tempos, sparse voicings, and moments where the performance is more about presence than projection.

Whether you’re scoring for film, writing late at night, or simply chasing a quieter mood, this piano offers a voice that stays close to the listener. It doesn’t demand attention. It earns it.

Pro vs Lite
Whether you’re after the full depth and flexibility of the Pro edition or the streamlined efficiency of the Lite version, you can choose the one that matches your workflow, budget, and system requirements. Both deliver the same signature piano character, it’s just a matter of how many tools and options you want at your fingertips
