The deal

$69 at Pulse Audio (down from $148). That is 53% off the Balkan Brass Duo bundle, which pairs Balkan Trombone (regularly $79) and Balkan Tuba (regularly $69). The sale runs through January 9, 2027. Pulse Audio also gives 5% back as store credit after purchase.

What it is

Balkan Brass Duo is a two-instrument Kontakt bundle from Have Audio. It includes a sampled tenor trombone and a tuba, both performed by Víctor Correa. The sound is raw, bold and rhythmic, aimed at the character of Balkan brass music rather than a polished orchestral tone. Both instruments need the full retail version of Kontakt 6.6 or later and do not run in the free Kontakt Player.

Who it's for

Composers and producers who want authentic low brass for Balkan-inspired arrangements, brass band parts, or world music productions. It also suits jazz, pop and film score writers who want a gritty, characterful trombone and tuba instead of a generic brass section.

Key features

  Both instruments include a wide selection of articulations, from sustained notes to lively staccatos.
