The culmination of a decade of experience sampling and recording pitched percussion, the chromatically-sampled Virtuosity Vibraphone is an intimate, enveloping sampling of a brand new vibraphone in a small venue using state of the art equipment.

Bowed Psaltery

Faux-Medieval Zither

$39.00

The bowed psaltery is a 20th century re-imagining of the psaltery, a plucked zither dating as far back as ancient times. The instrument produces a high, almost glassy tone similar to other fretless zithers, and does an excellent job of standing out in any mix. With a sound reminiscent of its medieval roots, it’s a sure match for any fantasy or historical track.

Broken Piano

Now it’s a Bookshelf!

$19.00

When it came to our attention that an aging Baldwin piano was destined to be turned into a coffee table after being found unrestorable, we took it upon ourselves to grit our teeth and sample the hideously out of tune instrument in full detail.
