Sampled celestas often sound flat and glocky. But what if two celestas were placed side by side and played in perfect unison? Would this create a more vibrant overtone spectrum?

The concert hall (Fartein Valen) has stunning and intimate warm acoustics.

Celesta is a classical keyboard instrument, known for its bell-like sound. When two celestas are played together, the resulting timbre and overtones gets more lively and enchanting. With multiple mic positions allowing you to easily incorporate it into your mixes.

Stavanger Symphony Orchestra generously borrowed us two celestas. A new and an older model. A pianist was set to play them simultaneous in unison. Reaching one hand on each instrument. You really don’t hear that there are two celestas sounding, but the resonance sound fuller and more varied, vibrant and enchanting.

Recorded in one of Europes finest sounding halls, Fartein Valen.

The interface is simple to look at, easy to play, and with advanced options available behind every control

Review

“Two celestas are better than one”

“…Celesta Duet not only excels in delivering great instrument tones but also focuses on getting the most realistic experience out of a virtual instrument. One cool way to achieve that is implementing the common noises every instrument makes, and in this case, you can set the pedal quirks and release damper pedal sounds.”

“I was drawn in with the siren song of the Celesta Duet’s intimate, lovely, rich tones. This virtual instrument emphasizes the quieter, lower velocity playing of the Celesta where the tones are more mellow and aren’t dominated by the initial harsh attack of the hammer strikes.” –GN

“So beautiful! Well done!”

-JeffR

“What a beautiful job you are doing! I admire the quality and quantity of work you have been putting into it.” -M.A
