As we happen to own quite a few of these miniature pianos, we recorded them all, as a bonus. But the centerpiece, the Michelsonne Toy piano, is full of delicate, expressive sounds. It’s our favourite patch in the library.

The other included toy pianos range from soft, gentle tones to playful quirky, river textures, seductively percussive sounds. Working on a lighthearted, childlike composition, making a creepy horror score or a quirky romantic haze? You might probably find the sound you’re looking for here .

Moving river-like textures included
