Mountain Dulcimer 是一种高品质的三弦木弦乐器，可产生柔和而旋律优美的无人机，也称为波登音。它以在 Thomas Newman 的作品中使用而闻名，例如 American Beauty。
我们专注于以各种发音方式捕捉 Mountain Dulcimer。人们可以用手指演奏山地扬琴——但我们也用钢琴锤、Plec 和木槌演奏过它。除了五个预设之外，新的 Stringed 2022 GI 令人印象深刻地保留了许多可用选项。但我们绝不应该忘记提及柔和闪烁的弹奏。
什么是山地扬琴？
虽然山地扬琴起源于北美的阿巴拉契亚地区，但它是在德国、英国、爱尔兰和苏格兰移民的手中才得以诞生的。该乐器具有许多欧洲弦乐器的特点，尤其是德国的 Scheitholt，被认为是山地扬琴的主要祖先。
山地扬琴由木头制成，传统形状像沙漏，使用金属丝弦产生明亮的声音，适合细腻的弹奏。山扬琴以其无人机或波登效应而闻名，被认为是真正的美国音乐作品。尽管如此，它也被现代化并用于不同的音乐流派。也许它在当代使用的更为人所知的例子是托马斯纽曼为电影《美国美女》创作的音乐。

BRIGHT DRONE AND DELICATE STRUMMING
The Mountain Dulcimer is a high-quality three-string wooden stringed instrument which produces a soft and melodic drone, also known as a bourdon tone. It is well known for its use in compositions by Thomas Newman, such as American Beauty.
We focused on capturing the Mountain Dulcimer in a variety of articulations. One can play the mountain dulcimer with fingers - but we have also played it with a Piano Hammer, Plec and Mallets. Besides five presets, the new Stringed 2022 GI impressively keeps many options available. But in no way should we forget to mention the soft shimmering strumming.
WHAT IS A MOUNTAIN DULCIMER?
Although the mountain dulcimer has its origins in the Appalachian region in North America, it was at the hands of German, English, Irish and Scottish immigrants that the instrument came to life. The instrument presents characteristics of many European stringed instruments, especially the German Scheitholt, considered the Mountain Dulcimer's primary ancestor.
Built out of wood and traditionally shaped like an hourglass, the mountain dulcimer uses metal wire strings to produce a bright sound that lends itself to delicate strumming. Known for its drone, or bourdon, effect, the mountain dulcimer is considered an authentic piece of musical Americana. Nevertheless, it was also modernized and used in different music genres. Perhaps its better-known example of contemporary usage is in the music that Thomas Newman composed for the film American Beauty.
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET
Organic Sound
We mainly focused on capturing the notes in a very realistic and organic way. All main articulations were recorded with a cool condenser in four times round robins and 2-3 velocity layers.
Glissando
The given glissando mode is unique and perfectly fits the sound of a Mountain Dulcimer.
Tremolo
Once activated, you can easily play true tremolo triggered by the mod-wheel.
Strumming Engine
A very realistic strumming engine that perfectly simulates the velvety and shimmering strumming of the Mountain Dulcimer. It is a unique feature with a Strumming Speed Slider that mimics the speed of the hand and drone option.
Many Articulations
We recorded many different and unique articulations to give you a vast spectrum of sound possibilities. Each of them is useful for a different kind of musical style:
- Finger: Played just with finger
- Hammer: Played with a Piano Hammer
- Plec: Played the dulcimer with a guitar plec. Hard Sound.
- Mallet: Played it with a soft mallet.
