Bell Tree
Bell Tree is a faithful reproduction of a real acoustic instrument, known in Pakistan as Tree Bells and in China as Bell Tree. The instrument was found at a flea market in Athens, Greece. It was unbranded and had no fabrication details so it’s not possible to determine where or when it was made, but according to the seller it was brought to Greece from India.
Original sounds were recorded at Esoteron Music Studio in Athens, with George Dovolos as recording engineer.
We can record / playback our sequences and add effects. Effects include various reverb simulations, delay and 3 band equaliser.
Designed and developed by me and my dear friend Jason Michailidis.
