What an amazing library this is! It is the sound I had in my head, for a piece I needed to finish, and yet I couldn't get that sound from any of my gazillion other mallet percussion libraries.

I haven't had time to delve into the details, but I think Ørstphone is a brand name -- like Waterphone -- as opposed to a description per se.

Basically it is a type of aluminum Orchestral Array Bells setup (chromatic).

The library is incredible as it has several mallet types as well as bowed samples! I ended up using the hard mallet strikes on one track, and long bowed sounds on another, Not chaotic like a Waterphone, but more tonally focused than Bowed Cymbals.

Very affordable during the introductory sale.
