Cello is one of our FAVORITE instruments in the orchestra. It has an unbelievably wide emotional range, from sinister and biting to sweet and lyrical. That's why we didn't mess around when we embarked on our cello sampling Odyssey.

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 set out to create a new standard in virtual solo strings, offering plenty of inspiration without sacrificing flexibility… and with the unmistakable, iconic sound of internationally acclaimed violinist Joshua Bell.
