Griot Beatmakers

Recorded at Spitfire HQ, we've captured the full tonal range of this classic instrument — from picked and fingered, to tremolo and ensemble. Use it to mock up guitar lines, or add texture and vitality to orchestral elements.

Two dulcimers, featuring a range of playing techniques. Choose hammered for a round, warm tone, fingerpicked or tremolo for a more metallic edge, and discover the spellbinding quality of the mini dulcimer, with glissandi.

Sampling this charango — an Andean guitar-like instrument — was the first sample instrument we sampled, back in 2006. Recorded on a KM184 mic in pristine detail.
