Native Instruments – Guarneri Violin 2.0.0 (KONTAKT)
Stradivarius may be the most famous violin maker in the world, but many prominent performers and composers consider del Gesù (Giuseppe Guarneri’s nickname) to be the best. The second violin in the Cremona Quartet is his “Prince Doria”, made in 1734.
The Guarneri Violin is part of the Cremona Quartet.
Since the latest version 1.3.0 release is presented as an installer, not an unpacked library, it was decided to release version 2.0.0 in full, rather than as an update.
However, if you are already using version 1.3.0, the following folders and files will be needed to upgrade:
