Soundiron Hopkin Handsome Dan WAV
Handsome Dan is a creation from master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin: A stringed Zither with a unique twist. This flat wooden sound box has 14 strings, with a center bridge dividing them into two segments. A magnetic pickup is placed on one side, but the strings are played primarily on the other side, usually with a slide or plectrum. The tone is dreamy and ethereal, with a floating, swelling presence.
We’ve faithfully sampled every interesting sound we could get out of this zither, with Plucks, Glisses, Slides, and Ambiences. With close mic’d samples in wide stereo, you’ll be swimming in beautiful timbres in no time.
