Hakkebrett Zither

About

Hakkebrett Zither is a world instrument plugin by Wrongtools. It is a sample library of a Norwegian folklore zither, the hakkebrett, built from two table-top zithers. The patches were sampled with 5 velocity layers and 3 round robins. The library includes a velocity curve option for adjusting the instrument to a player's style.

What it sounds like

The strings were hammered with thin long wooden sticks, and the tones have long ringing sustains. The mics were placed close, and the zither was hammered softly.
