Hopkin Instrumentarium: Weighted Strings from Soundiron is a set of two custom creations from the mind of master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin: The Weighted Lyre and Weighted Zither. These handcrafted experimental instruments use small weights on the strings to alter overtone relationships and create unusual beautiful sounds. Made of wood and metal, they have a richly acoustic essence that resounds brightly through each plucked note.
The sounds were recorded with three stereo mic positions: Close, Room, and Contact. There's a wide selection of custom FX presets and plenty of signature sound-designed ambient content crafted from the raw acoustic source to give you complete creative freedom.
