Celesta Incogni
A gorgeous 5 octave Schiedmayer celesta recorded with a Zoom H2n portable recorder.

The story
In late September of last year, I came across a beautiful 5 octave Schiedmayer celesta tucked away in the corner of a storage room at a concert hall venue. I once again brandished my Zoom H2n portable recorder, stuck it on a footrest close to the membrane and proceeded to sample it. Unfortunately I never thought to take any photos of it when I was done, so I created some vector graphics to keep your eyes occupied.
Enjoy!
The instrument requires the full version of Kontakt 5.8.1.
Reviews
Nicely sampled warm toned celesta!
Very very nice! I love the sound of celesta. I has a nice amount of reverb and sounds great out of the box!
The perfect warm celesta
This is absolutely beautiful, hands down. It would be pretty much a 5/5 from everyone if it had just a couple of settings like reverb or delay, but it definitely doesn't need any of those in order to shine. The sampling is amazing, the dynamic layers are wonderful, and the overall character is simply fantastic. To the top!
Great Celesta
This library is one of my all-time PianoBook favorites and most-used. It's intimate sounding, and the recording is very well done. It sits perfectly in mixes without having to do much more than adding a bit of reverb. If you don't already have this library downloaded, don't wait! It's truly one of the greats on the Piano book site!
