The Vienna Concert Guitar is the only one of its kind. This hand-
made instrument was specially constructed with an arched back put
together from several pieces of wood. Its balanced, homogeneous
sound allows it to stand its ground as a solo instrument as well
as in accompaniment.

Due to its polyphonic nature, the concert guitar presented a
special challenge. Specifically, chords only sounded authentic
when the chords themselves were sampled! After a three year
production cycle for the orchestral sample libraries, the Vienna
Symphonic Library team felt ready to take up this challenge,
capturing all of the concert guitar's versatility and its many
playing techniques.The samples were "tamed" and made reproducible
with the help of the Vienna Symphonic Librarys unique Performance
Tool.

The Vienna Concert Guitar became a reality through a combination
of individual prerequisites:The project's godfather,Thomas Meitz,
in the framework of his concert guitar diploma, spent 1 1/2 years
on developing the Library's structure. Due to his practical
background as a recording engineer and chief editing engineer of
the Vienna Symphonic Library, he was able to realize his concept
optimally and without compromise.
