Video: A guitar made out of an armadillo
🕑 Added 2025-10-11 16:39:58 +0000 UTCI've made a brand new video that's all about my latest thrift store acquisition: a Charango from South America. As usual, I don't want to give away too much information here, because I think it will be much more fun to watch it as a video. Enjoy!

Nice!!! Venus Theory proved with his Volitions library that you don’t actually need to know how to play the Violin or Viola in order to make a great sample library out of it.

This video inspired me to go to several thrift stores in my area for some cheap instruments to sample. I'm trying to change careers from Software Dev to become a film/game composer, so anything to make things fun while I gain different skills. I ended up finding an intermediate student level violin for $40 with the bridge, and bow included. Do I know how to play violin? Nah. Am I going to add to sample it with Kontkt? I'm going to try. I also found a Ukulele with bass strings for $300. I bet I can find a cheap Ukulele and some nylon bass strings for it.

I have other Churrango libraries but yours sounds more organic and musical. Thanks for all the amazing and inspiring instruments you create. I dig the tune also.
