Whispers of the Ancient World
Originals Rare Flutes – 8 Exotic Woodwinds, Dry Recordings & Analog Reverb for Cinematic Authenticity

Originals Rare Flutes showcases exotic woodwinds like the Chinese bamboo flute, Bansuri, and Contrabass Flute, recorded dry at Spitfire HQ for maximum tonal flexibility. Three mic signals — Close (warm ribbon mics), Room (tight stereo ambience), and Super Reverb (analog-processed decays) — allow seamless blending of intimacy and cinematic grandeur. The plugin includes controls for reverb, vibrato, note tightness, and release tailoring, making it ideal for crafting ethereal melodies, ambient pads, or culturally rich world music motifs.

A distinctive collection of exceptional woodwinds

Originals Rare Flutes bestows an extraordinary collection of flutes, sourced from all over the globe, performed by world renowned flautist, Andy Findon. This library contains woodwinds, such as the Bansuri and Chinese bamboo flute, to add a unique palette to your compositions.

With a central focus on the tone of each woodwind and three distinctive signals, (Close, Room and Super Reverb) you have the option to give your sound warmth, sharpness or ambiance — or blend all three signals to create something truly exquisite.
