  • Looking for balalaika sample

    Anyone know of a lib that has sampled balalaika? Perhaps other russian native instruments as well.

    Thanks,

    I thought Precision Sound might do one, but they only appear to have sampled a mandolin, a santur, a zither and a couple of lyres.

    I guess those are all insufficiently Russian to be of use to you, but you might find something interesting there anyway (such as a sampled Stylophone for those 1970s Rolf Harris moments).

  • Thanks fcw,

    I guess VSL will not run out of lib to do so soon, hopefully the ethnic instruments will be among them. [:D]

  • Dear Guy,

    Ethnoworld 3 Complete has one. I think it was introduced in Ethnoworld 2. Pretty basic, but it does have a tremolo/bisbigliando as well as single-note samples. Hope that helps.

    Kind Regards,

    Nick.
