Canjo by Soundiron is a unique virtual instrument library that captures the rustic charm of a homemade single-stringed fretted instrument made from a wooden stick, string tuner, and a tin can. This instrument produces a twangy, metallic tone reminiscent of a cross between a banjo and a mountain dulcimer. Designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later, Canjo is perfect for creating authentic folk melodies as well as experimental soundscapes.
