A Celesta For Kontakt

Chocolate Audio tells us that Celestial is a sampled celesta done right. They say that, balanced and smooth, it will fit into any composition nicely with little need for intervention in mix. This particular celesta is a very old Mustel made in Paris and properly maintained and restored by skilled technicians in Milano.
