Dulcitone sounds like an elderly celesta, with a quieter and rounder tone. We sampled two different Dulcitones with different piano hammers, cutting-edge technology.
The sound comes from tuning forks, which vibrate when struck by felt-covered hammers. We utilized a variation of different hammers.
Here’s a playful demo : Grieg Op 43 No 17 (Op.43-1) Butterfly, rearranged for Dulcitone Pro. Using the main patch only.
Dulcitone-Pro is a charming unusual alternative to piano.
Brings uniqueness and intimacy to emotional scoring moments.

The instrument was overhauled by a professional piano restorer prior to the sampling session. Mechanics and pedal, squeaks and keysounds were recorded and mapped to individual tracks.
