Hollywood Fantasy Winds offers woodwind instruments beyond the modern orchestra, from Irish whistles and Renaissance flutes to uilleann pipes and ocarinas, with true legato for fantasy soundtracks.

Deeply rooted in Celtic musical tradition, the collection paints images of Celtic highlands, sweeping mountain ranges and enchanted forests. The high Irish whistles sound brilliant and allow more expressive pitch bending than a piccolo, the low whistles are deeper and mellower, and the wooden Renaissance flutes recall an ancient recorder. The uilleann pipes resemble bagpipes but sound more lyrical, blending seamlessly with a full orchestra. Legato slurs, sustains with different vibratos, shorts of various lengths, flutters and glissandos cover all the essential playing styles.
