Hi everyone,
I am looking for a nice nylon (or concert or spanish) guitar sample library (preferrably Kontakt-format). My favourite (demo-wise) is thus far OrangeTrees ModernNylon but the price tag is quite steep for a single instrument library and sales at OTS are quite rare in my experience (and I missed the group buy in August...) . I already own the nylon acoustic of Chris Hein's Guitars, which has nice articulations but is not always appropriate tone-wise. Does anyone here have other suggestions?

Thanks very much in advance!

OrangeTree is the best in my opinion. And there are good sales from time to time throughout the year. Black Friday is around the corner and I am sure Greg will have something for then.

I like Ilya Efimov's Nylon Guitar a lot:

+1 ... OTS has many sales and group buys per year, and definitely Black Friday in a month...

Thanks for your recommendations, everyone! A lot of great sounding libraries. Acou6tics sounds nice, but as they are only selling the bundle for 400$ and I am not particularly interested in the other included instruments so I'll pass on that. I really liked the sound of the AmpleSound guitar in some of their demos. They have a quite confusing naming scheme for their guitar libraries but seems like they know what they're doing

The Ilya Efimov guitar sounds gorgeous in the demos, too, but to me it is quite similar in tone to the Chris Hein library so this will most likely not be the one I'll be buying. Beautiful, though. All in all, just judging from the demos, I think I still prefer OrangeTrees ModernNylon, mostly because of this nice "bite" in the higher velocity layers which sounded great to me in the demos.
thejonsolo and kbaccki made a good point, black friday is just around the corner and I might get 2 or 3 of these libs for a good price

Btw, while I was looking for acoustic guitar libraries I came across the Impact Soundworks "Django - Gypsy Jazz Guitar" library. While obviously a completely different sound than what I was looking for, this library sounds amazing to me in the demos. I will definitely get it at one point. Anyone here already tried it?

Might be one still available on vstbuzz.com

Have you tried Magix Independence?
I do believe the free version also includes a Spanish guitar which you can get from here...

Hehe, yes I know this one. I actually own Independence Pro since version 2 and it was still owned by YellowTools. And since it went from Magix to BestService I am actually able to use it again. (I could not activate my library before for some reason). Still love the included samples, especially bass, percussion and also the acoustic guitars. This is actually my go-to right now,when I just want to doodle around with a nylon guitar sound. Too bad there is no YellowTools anymore, I always enjoyed their sample libraries.

+1
Same as you, I've got Independence Pro and I've had it since Yellow Tools. Still use it in every project. I do hope they (Magix) expand on it. Outstanding library.
As for another recommendation, take a look at Lyrical Distortion for acoustics.

Sorry, I posted off of memory and not actually checking! They had a great three guitar sample library set on sale (expired last week maybe) but it did not include a nylon.

Recommendations for Nylon Guitar SampleLibraries?
