0:00 Noire "Emotional Felt"
2:42 Pianoteq "Antonín Petrof Felt 1"
5:24 Pianoteq "Blüthner Felt 1"

Ennio Morricone's "Chi Mai" played by three virtual felt pianos: Native Instruments' "Noire," Pianoteq's "Antonín Petrof Felt 1," and Pianoteq's "Blüthner Felt 1." All plugins were played through Apple's GarageBand.

The selection of these instruments is entirely subjective and not intended to be an apples-to-apples comparison. Noire's "Dynamic" setting was reduced slightly, but the two Pianoteq presets were unchanged.

This is not my playing but rather a MIDI file created directly from Free MusicKey sheet music.

Enjoy, and please tell me which virtual instrument you prefer!
