We set out to create a virtual harmonica with a honkytonk soul… stylistically faithful to the country and blues music originating from old-time southern bars of the past. In other words: a twangy virtual harmonica that stands on its own, whether you’re backing up the band, or soloing over it.

The erhu is a two-stringed, bowed musical instrument. It may also be called a "southern fiddle", and sometimes known in the Western world as the "Chinese violin" or a "Chinese two-stringed fiddle". It is used as a solo instrument as well as in small ensembles and large orchestras. It is the most popular of the huqin family of traditional bowed string instruments used by various ethnic groups of China. A very versatile instrument, the erhu is used in both traditional and contemporary music arrangements, such as in pop, rock, jazz, etc.

We’re bringing it to the next level with this release of a full SSATB set of recorders! Our beloved IVORY WIND, released in 2012, was our first foray into wind instrument sampling, one of our first ever experiments with true sampled legato. With this set of recorders, we are officially putting Ivory Wind to rest! The instruments we sampled for this product are beautiful, handmade specimens, recorded with an insane level of detail. We captured a stunning 4X round robin legato so that you can play ultra-realistic melodies and repetitive patterns.
