We discovered that when struck with thin mallets, the strings produces a clearer resonance. Each note rings out with a cleaner mesmerizing quality, creating a soothing and enchanting sound.  Mics were placed super-close to the instruments, as we focused in in piano / pianissimo layers.

The musician focused on hitting the strings with a really light and quick touch.  Many of mics that were later mixed down to stereo tracks, as multiple mic positions didn’t make sense in this library.

A notable feature of this zither sample library is its long ringing sustains. Notes linger in the air, allowing for expressive and distinct long lasting performances. 

Hakkebrett is characterised by its rich timbre that can pretty much cut through any arrangement.  We also made some textural sound-design patches for the library.
