Dear community,
if anyone has the sound of this song – the intro – it would be a great help! My problem is that I can't hear which instrument it's supposed to be.
Does anyone have any ideas?

If you are talking about the instrument at the beginning of the song, a clavinet will get you close.

Could be something like plucked bouzouki, but a clav is a good substitute.

Hello Huflo,

you mean this german (especially bavarian) song: (if I'm right...)

At the beginning you can hear a well tweaked dx-like synth-sound (perhaps doubled by a traditional wind-instrument like cgrafx has mentioned...); the intro-hook is played in a style that is very common in the south of germany (Stub'n- or Gugg'n-Musi' )... it is played directly in the part after the chorus (this part I have not created...)

At the chorus there is a mandolin-sound played tremolo-like - so I used a similar sound from the Nord sample library (ukranian bandura: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/wt/api/ma ... on/8/1132/ or a little brighter the indian santoor - also to find in the library) switchable with the layer scene II-button...

I attached my try of this tune.

Hope you like it

Regards
Tim

Better acknowledge that this is Austrian, not German/Bavarian

Uah…you‘re so right…I‘d better have to describe it with ‚somewhere deep in the mountains called the Alps…‘

Cheers

I‘m pretty sure it‘s a clavinet.

Yes, with a tiny, little bit of Phaser-FX.

Hi folks,
@gitarrenzupfer und @Eumel

you´re also right - sometimes the solution is nearer than you expect... (now only someone can mention that the surname of the artist written in the title of this thread may be correctly written "Wolfgang Ambros" and not "...Ambroß" )
