    Hi there,

    I'd suggest the following: http://www.boldersounds.net/hammered-dulcimer-v2-p-19.html

    I find it quite realistic and above all (its price concerned) there are two separate playing styles: leather or wood sticks...

    Best,

    I would love together the Boulder Sound set, but they don't see to come as VSTs, only specific sample types.

    I just got a reply from the guy at Boulder who has he writes all his samples for Kontakt.  I don't use that.  I see there's a free Kontakt player.  I have no idea if it would work with SonarX1 and all my VI software.  Any thoguhts?

    However, as it says in the link, you will need Kontakt.

    Spitfire dulcimer, being free, I reckon is what it is, cheap.

    Bolder sounds' is 39.00 bucks (if I remember well). So, they had to do some work.

    In the end, it's a matter of personal choice and taste.

    Anyway, both (tiny) libraries need full Kontakt, not Kontakt player. Yet, I think one of my best buys was Kontakt.

    If you have any products that use the Kontakt Player, it is sometimes possible to get a cheap crossgrade to full Kontakt.

    Don't know of any VST dulcimer libs, but Cinesamples has a dulcimer or two in their 'Cinebells' library for Kontakt.  The Bolder Sounds dulcimer set is pretty good too.  My advice would be to pick up a full version of Kontakt as well, then you'll have the ability to purchase all kinds of smaller boutique specialty libraries.   Most use full version of Kontakt since it costs the developer more (I believe), to go the Kontakt Player route.
