A staple of classical, contemporary and film music, brass sections can be as traditional or as modern as you want them to be. And this collection of instruments including horns, trumpets, trombones, cimbasso and tuba excels at this task, following your imagination – as loud and upfront or as subdued as you like, never limiting your expressive possibilities in any way. So when you want to cut through the densest mix with a wall of brass or want to lightly swing with the best – prepare to be blown away.
