...*don't know how to say thank-you properly*...
...*continue to cry from its beauty*
Orchestral music, weird instruments, and sample libraries just about sums it up.

Ah, I should mention... this is a Fretless zither, the cheap, poorly-made American copy of the Austrian instrument popular in the early 20th century. :P
Enjoy, Waffles!
Look, I *really* don't know how to say thank-you properly to you. Perhaps I could try to write more better critiques for your music.
No need, enjoy it. :)
May I ask... what equipments did you use for the recording?
A few Shure SM-57's... four I think, for this particular recording. They're not at all ideal for sampling, as they are dynamic mics meant more for live performance, but they do an okay job. They are all that are over at the location I record at (the local school).
what type of instrument was that? it sounds very cool!
Fretless Zither. ;)

Awesome!!! Beautiful sound. The Zither is very common in the region i am living in :D
Fretless or Fretted? Fretless are very common across America, but are less common with actual musicians.
Hm i dont really know if they are fretted or fretless - but zither-Music is very traditional in bavaria / black forrest!
Probably fretted (Concert) zither then. Fretless is mostly an American instrument and is not as useful or quality as a fretted.
Nice!! I have to try this one... Thanks for the info..
Good luck! Let me know if you make anything with it. :)
Congrats as this is some serious effort from you. I am going to download it soon.
Thanks! It wasn't too much. :)
Well then you are a pro now I must admit.
haha nah, just found a program that can do it and spent a few hours recording myself plucking strings. ;)
