Hi, Florian and List, The instruments I expected to hear are: acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, celeste, glockenspiel, strings, and female voices.
About all I recognized was the celeste. I don't know what the other instruments were. I stopped the playback almost as soon as I knew it would not be what I wanted.
