Legato Strings, Folk Guitar, Low Brass, Expressive High Wind & Ambient Soundscapes
Each option comes from a different OT collection and points you toward a different musical direction:
- String Quartet (€50) — from Salu. Two violins, viola and cello. A tight, expressive chamber ensemble that works across a wide range of genres. If you want something versatile and musical, this is the most broadly useful pick.
- Ronroco (€20) — from Andea. Warm, plucked, characterful Bolivian string instrument. Great for adding deep, organic acoustic color to electronic, cinematic, new-age or atmospheric ambient tracks.
- Koenigsberger Cimbassi a3 (€46) — from Metropolis Ark 1. Three low‑brass players recorded together. Heavy, bold and perfect for trailers or dark scoring where low‑end brass forms the foundation.
- Piccolo Flute (€48) — from Berlin Woodwinds. Bright, agile and very expressive. Surprisingly articulated for a piccolo, and great for melodic lines or adding organic top‑end detail. Compatible with MIDI breath controllers.
- Forest (€29) — from Habitat. Evolving electronic‑orchestral textures. More of a sound‑design tool than a traditional instrument, ideal for ambient or experimental work.
Personal Recommendations
If you want something that fits into almost any genre, the Salu String Quartet is the most flexible option. It blends easily with electronic, acoustic, classical symphonic, cinematic and hybrid productions.
If you prefer something more expressive and melodic, the legato-featured Piccolo Flute from Berlin is also a good option. It’s dynamic, highly responsive and adds a clean organic layer that cuts through dense arrangements.

Orchestral Tools Freebies
Orchestral Tools has a track record of dropping genuinely worthwhile offers, and this one fits right in. They tend to roll out something special every Holiday Season too, so it’s worth sticking around when that time comes. Last year’s Holiday deal was a perfect example – if you caught that one, you already know how generous their seasonal releases can get.
