Hello All,

I've recently posted a new Bolder FREE Sounds offering - a Medieval Psaltery for Kontakt 2 as well as the EXS24. This is in conjunction with the release of the Best Of Bolder Early Music Library for the above mentioned samplers.

The Early Music collection features a number of lutes, a fortepiano, a harpsichord and a medieval hurdy gurdy. The Fortepiano comes in Limited and Full Edition versions.

Thanks for your time and best wishes!

nice, thanks. just one question: how do you download this? cant find a DL button anywhere...am i being stupid?

you "buy" it for the price of 0 dollars, do the payment checkout and then you can download it.

thanks. i wondered if it was something like that, but it seemed such an unlikely way of downloading that i rejected the idea and gave up.

Ah. A bowed psaltery, as opposed to the less interesting plucked one. Very nice!

Oh:

It is only possible to play one not at a time on this instrument, so you might keep that in mind when using it in a traditional context.

Not entirely. The people that I've seen play this hold a bow in each hand, so at least you can tie "left" and "right" notes, if not any pair of notes.

Victor.

You folks are most welcome, I really enjoy giving stuff away.

That I did not know. So how do you hold it while bowing it with each hand?

Thanks a lot for the samples! I don't own konatkt or exs so I had to map them myself in Shortcircuit, so another thx for marking them note-wise!
As for the methods of playing with 2 hands

Really nice, thanks.

As an aside, my lad had to build a medieval instrument for a school project once... It has to be said, our 'psaltery' (wooden box with fishing line stretched across it) doesn't sound *quite* as good as your samples. ;D

cheers,

No idea what a psaltery sounds like (and won't till I get home) but sounds like something I should have "just in case"...

Cheers!
