Spitfire Audio – Frank Ricotti: Crotales (KONTAKT)

Crotales – percussion instrument in the form of bronze or brass discs
Crotales are small bronze disks, almost thick cymbals arranged in a piano. They are one of the brightest tuned percussion instruments and similar to a piccolo, will cut through even the biggest orchestral dirges. With the producer range, however, we like to introduce the music of all persuasions to try instruments they may never have heard of. So alongside the bright and brash. A great instrument that can create the feeling of a bright celeste coupled with a triangle with none of the pre-conceived ideas of either of those instruments, ie Celeste = Harry Potter.
