The Taleweaver "Ancient Plucked Dulcimer" is a sampled download only Instrument for Native Instruments' Kontakt 5 sampler. The Instrument the samples are taken from is about thirty years old and so it sounds slightly out of tune here and there. The silvery overtones in the middle and high register add the special edge to this unique sounding instrument. So it’s perfect for magical or even horrifying music-experiences. The Kontakt Instrument has a range of four Octaves. Since the original Dulcimer has a range of only two octaves, the highest and lowest octaves are pitched. So playing the main parts and melodies in the middle two octaves is recommended. All samples are in wav-format, 44100kHz / 16bit and divided into three Round Robin Layers.
