Heritage sound

  • A carefully sampled dulcitone tuning-fork keyboard instrument from 1910
  • The acoustic ancestor to vintage electric pianos
  • Including eight samples per-note and just under 1,500 single samples


A hidden gem

The "Dulcitone" by Dyson & Sons is the predecessor of a celesta. This unique tuning-fork piano offers a mellow and vibrant sound, blending a glockenspiel, marimba and a piano. Its warm tones are ideal for folk, pop, ambient, soundtracks, and electronic music productions.
