Hideaway Studio - 1946 Deagan Electric Chimes for Kontakt

Kontakt | 7.06 MB
Perhaps one of the most influential of the JC Deagan instruments is the orchestral marimba as we know it today.
As well as being synonymous with high quality tuned percussive orchestral instruments, JC Deagan also specialised in musical bell design with exceptional tonal qualities.
For a short period of time JC Deagan produced a series of small electric carillons based on arrays of skilfully tuned chime rods tube amplified by pickup coils and actuated by solenoids and felt dampers. Built circa 1946, it is one of these rare instruments that formed the basis for this sampled offering following the overhaul of the amplifier chassis much in need of new capacitors after nearly 70 years of service.
