A sample instrument based on a half size nylon string guitar from a flea-market

The story

I love flea-markets. My mission: find weird/old/broken stuff in flea-markets then restore, clean, and sample. This instrument is based on a half-size nylon string guitar I found in a local flea-market in an old church. The guitar needed a bit of TLC and I even found a chocolate wrapper from the 80s in the body! After some cleaning, painting, and new strings and ‘restored’ instrument doesn’t look and sound too bad. It makes for a nice delicate pluck-based sample instrument.

  • Overall Nice Tone From A Small Classical Guitar!

    Being a classically trained guitar player I know that each instrument has a certain tone and response based on size, wood, stings, action, and craftmanship. I think he did a nice job in capturing the half size nylon guitar, you can always tweak the tone with other plugins if you want a deeper fuller tone but the real instrument is only going to have a certain true sound!

    If you want a thin and light guitar sound, this is it. It isn't less and it isn't more.
