    I was looking at the photos and that "serpent" looks like a very akward and even difficult instrument to play.

    ... Is it really played standing up like that?

    I hope you gave that poor guy lots and lots of breaks😶

    After some research on Youtube and other sources the serpent can be played sitting or standing and in the standing position there appears to be some kind of harness but it's barely visible.

    AFAIK you have to buy the instruments together.  That might change in the future.

    I'd like to hear a demo of each instrument individually too.  So for anybody who is working with these instruments right now a demo would be appreciated at your ealiest convenience.  Thank you.

    What about a new Poster / Roadmap for the new collection? I know that VSL do not talk about releasedates. That is fine. But the Poster would show where the journey goes.

    Hi,

    I just purchased 8 X 100 Euro Vouchers, to get two of the 8 vouchers for Free. I plan to purchase Historic Winds I , and look forward to purchase more of the new libraries next year. 

    Would love to buy Baroque Strings, (Solo and Section) one of these days., and I'm very delighted to know that we will see new libraries from VSL during 2017, and maybe a new software as well. (i.e. VI-Pro 3) 

    I wonder if there will be any new VSL Libraries recorded in the new Synchron Stage, rather than the Silent Stage ?  i.e. a new generation of VSL Orch. Libraries recorded in Synchron would be very exciting, and big move from VSL. I'm sure this would turn a lot of heads around 😉  

    Cheers,

    Muziksculp

    Regarding to Strings ... I want a Hurdy-Gurdy :) The craziest of all Baroque-String Instruments I have seen yet. Sounds like a String-Bagpipe. Hurdy-Gurdy played live ... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QHmML7bu-iM Hurdy-Gurdy & the amp... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W0DrXyzlHM8 Hurdy-Gurdy close picture https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ypuaJLHK_LQ
