Musical Instrument Sound Effects

Musical Instrument sound effects for when the thing on screen is a prop or a texture rather than the main event. Bells and wind chimes, a tin whistle and a bamboo flute, shakers, and gamelan keys and gongs struck singly and left to sustain. Lots of ring. Then the kind heard in the background, drifting down school corridors and out of the hall at a school party.

A struck Gamelan bar or a hand bell sustains for a long time, which makes it good raw material for sound design. The gamelan recordings capture each strike on its own with the full sustain, ready to stretch, pitch or reverse into magic and dream sequences. The bells and chimes do a similar job, with plenty of unusual ones in the mix. The flute soundscapes are built from tin whistle and bamboo flute, calm and atmospheric, with the source files included. At the school parties it's all background. Distant playing from the hall sits with applause, chairs and walla, which suits a school drama or a graduation scene.
