    Hi, VSL is all still new to me so bear with me if I seem to ask stupid questions. I'm actually thinking of purchasing my first VSL instrument especially the Solo Strings II but do I have to purchase Solo Strings I first in order to have all the articulations.

    you don't have to buy solo strings 1 before you buy solo strings 2 they are seperate products independant of each other. But solo strings 2 is just con-sordino samples.

    They're starting to trickle in, here in the States. I ordered mine this week, and they're expecting to turn it around on Tuesday to ship my way (west coast).

    I'm guessing this is the end of the "con sordino"/"muted strings" libraries, as Orchestral Strings already includes them in both voumes.

    Now maybe VSL could start turning their attention to historic instruments, like Violas da Gamba (all voicings), Ratchetts, Baroque Recorders, etc.

    I received mine today, at $380 US, it's a great price! Love the violin and viola in general, but don't like the Cello, it's not as warm as I hope it will be... Maybe I have not found a sweet spot yet :) I was expect the cello can sound like some quite part in "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" :) --- with portamento, it's quite similar but the sound is a little too bright to my taste ---- still an excellent product though!

    Oops ststudio the main reason ordering the solo strings 2 especially for Cello legato (sordino) I hope you are wrong!

    Don't worry, Maybe it's just me and like I said, I spent like 2-3 hours for solo II so I maybe wrong Combining with Vienna Suite and tape emulation like crane song phoenix, I think I can get a warmer sound from that cello.

     Might just be the nature of the beast (muted cello) - much of the warmth and body is 'muted' out of it.  Perhaps roll off some 4.5hz??
