Music Maker virtual instrument is a free dulcimer sound bank for Kontakt, by Bolder Sounds.
This free sample library was originally created in April of 2004 in conjunction with the release of the Hammered Dulcimer Trilogy. Since then – Bo Clausen has updated this instrument with Kontakt scripting which takes this instrument to a whole new level yet again in Version 4. Make sure Kontakt 4 is updated at least to version 4.2.4 or higher. If you already have a previous version, you still should download the entire V4 package.
The Music Maker is a dulcimer designed as a child’s toy musical instrument. It is supplied with a guitar pick and some sheets that slide underneath the string telling you which strings to pluck from left to right. Featuring such hits as Darling Clementine and Aura Lee, etc.
