Step into the shoes of the Norwegian storytellers, the wandering bards, and the soulful minstrels. The Folklore Zither Sample Library by Wrongtools invites you to weave your own sonic tales.

A notable feature of this quirky 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 quirky and intimate timbres that can pretty much cut through any arrangement.

MICS WERE PLACED SUPER-CLOSE TO THE STRINGS.

The musician focused on hitting the strings with a light and quick touch.  Then mixed down to stereo tracks, as multiple mic positions didn’t make sense for this library.
