Strand
SINEfactory instrument—free with registered account

Free acoustic guitars
A steel-stringed acoustic that can cut through any mix? Or a nylon-stringed instrument that offers rounded, mellow tones for soft passages? How about both?
Strand gives you two great options for easily incorporating acoustic guitar into your projects. Long single-note samples plus both sustained and damped strums in typical chord voicings provide essential building blocks for new parts.
