    This depends on where you live ;-]
    Out of curiosity, why was this design decision made in the first place? I mean, it's not really a secret that the french oboe is common and the viennese oboe is not.

    The question remains the same, this does not change anything. Why would a library aimed at composers all around THE WHOLE WORLD limit itself in this regard when you know the french oboe is the default instrument in a common orchestral setting?

    I agree, we don't expect the Vienna SL to be limited to Austrian instruments, especially since Vienna itself has always been an international center for classical music from all over Europe.

    I would have quite a few dialectically challenging answers at hand - but I'd say the simple truth is that we had to start _somewhere_, and this somewhere was Vienna, ok? - Keep in mind, a library like ours doesn't drop from heaven.

    Obviously not. [[;)]] But during discussions on the library's design this issue never came up? I mean, there must be french oboe players in Vienna. [:)]

    I can forgive you for including an "oboe" which sounds like a car horn, just hurry up with the French version. [:D]

    No - they don't get jobs (hey ... they wouldn't even get educated).

    This demands international attention, where's Bush when you need him? [[;)]]

    just to make some facts clear: the recordings with our french oboe- and french horn player are in progression. he's a soloist, playing concerts all the time, so it's not easy to execute a tight time schedule. we try our very best, and herb will inform you about the release date.
    this is all i can tell you guys at the moment, but i assure you, you will be very pleased with the sonic result of our new instruments.

    all the best

    When will the vibrato samples of the oboe and french horn be available!!??
    It is a shame they are not yet released since they are VERY basic material! [:'(]


    Do you mean French Horn or Cor Anglais? A French Horn with vibrato would be as unusable for me as an Oboe without.

    Michael, no doubt about that! Hope it does have vibrato though. [;)] Can't wait to hear the results.

    But...would a new oboe sample be accessible to owners of OPUS 1?

    One more urgent vote for a French Oboe. Had to hire a real player recently. Would love to use VSL for this. If it is as good as the basson leg - I will be quite pleased.

    How will this instrument be distributed (pricing, etc.)

    The DAN DEAN OBOE V3.6 is a perfect substitute for a real french oboe player. 8 velocity layers with and without vibrato. It's gorgeous. Each note non-looped but for like 30 seconds.
