Sketch Samples has released its new Sketch D-Hole Guitar, a virtual acoustic guitar for Native Instruments Kontakt 6.
These guitars are commonly used in Gypsy Jazz music, but they can be used in other genres as well. Thanks to its bright timbre, this guitar is clearly distinguishable in arrangements.
For recording we used high quality microphones and piezo pickup system. Mics and piezo levels are controllable after the fact to give maximum sonic flexibility.
