Herb and others
I know it's perhaps not my place to speak my view in this matter, but I seriously think it would be a big mistake if VSL didn't plan this particular lib very carefully and develop it into a complete library in the long run, because Violins like these are exactly what lots of people have been wishing for from VSL for quite some time now.
As someone already pointed out, the current Violin section is considered by many to be the major remaining "chink in the VSL armor" and I think it would be very unfortunate if VSL did not do their very best to cove that gap properly.
I think it's pretty safe to say that if these Epic Strings turn out good (which I'm confident they would), then chances are it will be a MAJOR bestseller for VSL...so I hope Herb will at least consider the possibility of this being more than just a small "bonus" patch (if that was the initial intention).
Sure, let the people have their bonus patch soon (a very generous offer btw), but please make into a complete Horizon lib and/or VI instrument eventually (even if by small steps at a time).
In short, whatever you do...please don't underestimate the importance this instrument will have for VSL customers (current and future alike).
