Solo Strings Bundle

Vienna Instruments - Solo Strings Bundle
$132.00

This bundle focuses on the solo instruments violin, viola, cello and double bass. It represents the most comprehensive and sophisticated solo string edition ever created, including more than 130 GB of pristine samples. Solo Strings I covers a tremendous variety of different articulations in all imaginable nuances (e.g., spiccato, richochet, col legno, snap pizzicato, tremolo, glissando, trills, and artificial harmonics). Solo Strings II offers most of these articulations, played con sordino (muted).
