I have also tried recording my bouzouki, but it can be tricking in trying to record a good sound. I have play mainly an eight string bouzouki, but I have also played a six stringed one. I am looking forward in trying Virtual Bouzouki. Visit Akki Plugs for more information and audio demos. Virtual Bouzouki is a Kontakt Player instrument based on advanced script programming and has different playing styles and techniques which gives you a brilliant sound. Akki Plugs has released Virtual Bouzoukia sample library for Kontakt.

Perhaps one of you has one that you might be interested in sharing! Dimitris Plagiannis, creator of this bouzouki sample library, has already recorded an electric version which is even more unusual. I also wanted to ask this community what sort of instruments you might like to see recorded for future libraries. What are your thoughts? Do you find the sound realistic? Would you use it for your own songs, perhaps for sketching or writing purposes before recording your own instrument? Here's a video of this sampled instrument in action:

I have always really loved its sound, but finding someone in my area (Baltimore) who can play one skillfully is a challenge. My personal goal in doing this isn't to try to replace live musicians in any way, but rather to give people access to beautiful instruments and sounds that are normally difficult to obtain (or, difficult to find skilled players). We've recorded instruments like the North Indian sitar, Japanese koto, and most recently, an 8-string acoustic bouzouki crafted by Antonis "Larisseos" Theodorou. We specialize in recording unusual, unique and custom instruments, then editing the results and releasing them for use in Kontakt format by composers and producers all around the world.

I'm a world music aficionado, composer and co-founder of Impact Soundworks, a sample library developer.
