Hi
There is a special playing technique used by Varese in the start of Ameriques, where the player is playing the strings with one hand, while knocking on the soundboard with the other.
I have looked in every sample library of harps for this, but no one seem to have included it, so maybe VSL would be interested in adding this?
Just an idea.....
Or maybe I should just go and knock my head against bottom of the soundboard of a piano and record that [<:o)]
btw Ameriques is a wonderful piece - I recommend a listen or two.......
