Don't take our word for it
I've used virharmonic solo strings on countless of scores and albums. Their tone is unparalleled - beautiful, emotionally diverse and highly playable. Probably the best solo strings libraries out there.

Virharmonics Bohemian Violin and Cello have very quickly become a staple in my template. With their incredible expressiveness and - even more important - outstanding playability, they allow me to sketch ideas extremely fast and efficiently. And more often than not, they do stay in the final production.
Amazing throughout.

the virtual performer
Part of an expanding series of performers, the Instant Cello is a Light Edition of the Bohemian Cello, which was created to free you to perform real Cello Performances fast, without the need to be a cellist yourself.
To achieve realism, we recorded an unprecedented amount of samples for a solo instrument, but managing all this by loading individual patches would be slow and cumbersome and stifle inspiration.
This is where the virtual performer comes in, controlling all the varied legatos, bow types and emotive expressions as you play, all from one patch and all in real time.
