Karniszbass is a sample library of an acoustic 2-string bass built around a curtain rod (in Polish, „karnisz”).
The two strings are tuned to D (a whole step below a standard bass’s low E) and G (a fourth above that D).
Though tuned low, this instrument can produce some very high pitches via harmonics, and this library is more about textures than a normal bass playing normal bass parts.
Please note: Requires the free Plogue Sforzando sampler, which works on 64-bit Windows and Mac systems, 4 GB RAM, and an SSD.
$39.00
The instrument was originally built by Peter Lyczkowski for a production of Hamlet, where it was used mainly to bow drones and harmonics. See https://www.peterlyczkowski.com/music/ for a short video about that Hamlet, and a list of the awards it won.

Un buen recurso, me gustan las articulaciones “experimentales”

Fun, interesting instrument to mess around with- will certainly find many spaces in my tunes that the Karniszbass can ably fill. So happy I toke the chance on it. Process was easy, price was great, and sounds fab!
