The Stroh Violin is a curious acoustic instrument invented by electrical engineer John Matthias Augustus Stroh, who, of course, named it after himself. Stroh conceived of a violin constructed with a metal resonator and horn, producing a louder, brighter sound compared to a traditional wood violin. He patented his design in 1899.

While this unique modification of the violin never overtook the popularity of perhaps the most classic orchestral instrument, the stroh violin is played by musicians worldwide – particularly in Europe – for folk music. It is beloved for street performance, thanks to its powerful tone that requires no amplification to be heard even in a noisy area.

Naturally, we sampled it! The Impact Soundworks Stroh Violin features this instrument in a single, elegant, lightweight Kontakt patch with modern trimmings like a sequencer and 'grit' effects. The result is a fun and surprisingly versatile virtual instrument, great for everything from rhythmic underscore ostinato to comical pizzicato, folk mockups and more. Special thanks to performer Kalle Ricken and designer Richie Albert!

* 3x dynamic layers / up to 5x round robins
* Sustain, spiccato & pizzicato articulations

I have received download links, but page shows 2 URLs with word 'false' and URLs returns "couldn't find the file" error.

I presume that everything is being overloaded at the moment, and things might not be working as expected, so I'll check back tomorrow

Just posting this in (unlikely) case that Impactsoundworks guys are not are aware of the problem.

Hey guys, yes, the demand has been quite intense on our servers! We just moved the download file to cloud distribution and expanded our resources as far as they can go, hopefully things should be resolving shortly.

If you have false/incorrect download links on your page, please try refreshing the page now.

Are you finished updating the accounts?

I just checked mine and there are a few items missing.

Yes we imported a great deal of missing orders which seems to have resolved problems for the majority of customers, but there are still a few accounts missing stuff for some reason. Just email me at support@impactsoundworks.com and I will get everything updated on your account. Sorry for any inconvenience!
