Hi there,

does anyone out there know of a good collection of Zither samples?

I know, it's one of those instruments that really can't be sampled,  
but then again, they all are... :-)

Thanks and best
Hans

Don't know about a good Zither, but on Freesound there's a beautiful  
Santoor.

There's a "beat-up" Zither there too, but I don't think that is what  
you are looking for ;-)

On the "Early Patches" from Dausenkunz there are some interesting  
plucked string instruments, like Cister, Hackbrett, Psalter... I have  
no idea if this CDROM is still available.

Well, why? Plucked string instruments are much easier than bowed  
string or wind instruments.

Maybe this could help a bit:

I actually have an old and playable zither, which I bought in Vienna 
a couple of years ago.

I could sample it for you, and make it into an .exs with KeyMap, if  
you fail to find another satisfactory solution.

Condider SonicCouture's Thai kim zither; it's beautifully made, with 3 to 5 velocity-layers and round-robin alternating notes:
