Hi folks

This instrument originates from Russia, and is used in some Eastern-European folk music. It includes 4 different playing styles and an ensemble patch combining some of them. Here's an mp3 demo:

"The Icy Cavern"

lol
that's a nice one.
I'll call National Health first thing in the morning

@Scuzzphut: It's in Giga format (some Kontakt versions as well), but if you need soundfonts, you can use CdXtract or Translator to convert it to SF2.

Actually - I don't think this is it because I ignore alot of free sample libraries.

I think it's more of a RAW SLDS (R.A.W. Sample Library Download Syndrome).

Slowly building my "Interesting Ethnic Instrument" library.

That's a nice title, I might want to use that one if I ever do a commercial library
