    As a recent purchaser of the whole Extended Cube, I'm trying to clarify what instruments I would get if I bought Special Edition that I DON'T have with the Extended Cube. Can someone from VSL look at this and confirm, please? Again, I'm looking to identify instruments that ARE in the Special Edition but are NOT in the extended Cube. Also, have I left anything off this list? Thanks.

    Triple Horn
    Bass Trombone
    Contrabass Trombone
    Bösendorfer Piano
    Oboe d'Amore
    Basset horn
    Alto, tenor, bari saxophones
    Piccolo trumpet
    Contrabass Tuba
    Wagner Tuba
    Horn ensemble (8 players - Epic)
    Vienna Konzerthaus Organ
    Harpsichord
    Electric guitar (Overdrive)

    By symphonic cube I suppose you mean the first 10 volumes?

    Thanks - yes, I do mean just the first 10 volumes. $60 seems like a great deal for all those extra instruments - just want to make sure I understand what's included.

    To me it seems more intuitive to think of it as a package price at $405. I can't imagine anyone eligible for the discount who would buy only the Standard package. The price is quite low any way one chooses to look at it though.

    Ahh - so that may be my error. I thought the $60 covered both Standard and Extended Special Edition if you were a VI Cube owner. So it's retail for the Standard plus $60 for the Extended? Can someone from VSL clarify?

    BRAIN FREEZE! Thanks to Sapkiller, I now realize that I never installed Brass II from the Cube. So that takes care of some of these instruments. So I'd still like clarification on the price (I assume you're right, nliberg, but just want to be sure). But it's nice to know I have some of these already...

    Sheepishly,

    Here's the clarification I received.
    If it weren't for the fact that it would be too good to be true Herb's initial post does give one the impression that the discount applies to the full library.

    Well, at least I'm not the only one to think I might be getting all that for $60! It was nice while it lasted... [:)]

    Thanks for the clarification.
