Unique, Ethereal Percussion Instrument for Your Scores
For the uninitiated, the cimbalom is a kind of hammer dulcimer with metal strings stretched across its top. Played with two striking instruments, its metallic and slightly sinister tone will likely sound familiar. It's been used to great effect by composers for those tense moments in films and games that are intended to provoke an unsettling response in the audience. "Where can I find a cimbalom?" you ask. Spitfire Audio and Sweetwater present Originals Cimbalom, a percussion library outfitted with three mic signals and five presets. Simply put, Originals Cimbalom from Spitfire Audio is the easiest, most efficient way of harnessing this moody percussion instrument for your own compositions.
