Guys,
 
    I want to know which violin players would let themselves be sampled like that, but I suppose there are a few people out there that wouldn't be altogether happy with them, especially if they were trying to have any kind of playing career.
 
   BTW, what is the stance of the musicians union on selling samples like this?
 
It is obviously much better sounding than other cheesy synthesizer string sounds.  The synthesized tpt sounds are so pathetic, I don't know how any self respecting musician can put them out in public either live or on a recording.  But...................
 
Bottom line is about money not about music.
