Synchron Woodwinds
Every Breath a Masterpiece

Now you can enjoy the big screen-grandeur and unmistakable sounds of the flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon families in your own projects – recorded and sampled to perfection with the highest level of realism in the Hollywood-proven Synchron Stage Vienna. It’s simply Inspiration to craft your masterpiece one breath at a time.

Synchron Woodwinds
It’s precisely these qualities that often make woodwinds the top choice when a seamless melody is needed to convey a message. This Woodwinds Collection breathes the air of the big (and small) screen – quite literally as one of the flute virtuosos sampled to perfection is the Vienna Synchron Orchestra’s very own Veronika Vitazkova, who toured with none other than Maestro Ennio Morricone and regularly lends her talents to TV & film scoring (“True Detective: Night Country” or Marvels “Moon Knight”) as well as various recording projects (“Cluster Ensemble plays Philip Glass”).
