Free Kontakt Instrument: A 1880 Karl Ruckmich Acoustic Guitar

Experience the rich, nuanced tones of a meticulously sampled 1880 Karl Ruckmich German romantic acoustic guitar – now available as a FREE Kontakt 5.5.2 instrument!

A Vintage Sound, Digitally Remastered

This unique virtual instrument captures the character of this antique steel-string guitar, renowned for its singing midrange and distinctive vintage sound reminiscent of an old Martin. While the intonation isn’t perfect – adding to its unique charm – the sampling process using Schoeps microphones in both digital stereo and analog tape formats delivers exceptional sonic detail. The analog tape recording offers a uniquely characterful sound, while the digital stereo provides a clean and spacious stereo image.

It features an intuitive interface, employing “Circle Behavior” and “Physical Simulation Speed Technique” for enhanced realism.
