Step into the sonic tapestry of bygone eras with the Vienna Symphonic Library Historic Winds II, an exquisite collection that brings the rare and enchanting sounds of Renaissance and Baroque wind instruments to the forefront. This meticulously curated library is a treasure trove for composers and music enthusiasts seeking to infuse their creations with the authentic timbres of historic instruments.

Featuring the zink (also known as cornett) with its unique blend of a soft piccolo trumpet and a female voice, this collection spans the soprano to sopranino registers, offering agility and a nearly three-octave range. The crumhorn, with its characteristic "J" shape and double-reed mouthpiece, delivers a bright, nasal timbre reminiscent of Renaissance music. Spanning the soprano to double bass registers, these instruments add a distinctive layer to any composition.

The natural trumpets, historically used for military signals, shine in this collection with their long tubing, allowing for the natural harmonic series from the 3rd to the 16th note. These instruments are recorded in Bb, C, and D, providing unparalleled flexibility for composers inspired by the works of Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi.
