Koto is a Japanese plucked string instrument, a long zither with movable fillies.
KOTO 17, the seventh game in the Virtuoso Japanese series, brings the sounds of the 17-string koto bass, an integral part of modern Japanese music, to music makers everywhere.
Three years after the development of KOTO 13, KOTO 17 benefits from expanded features that bring new tonal qualities to the library.
Naturally, KOTO 17 can be used as a solo instrument. But it complements the 13-string koto and shakuhachi unusually well, making it an important component in both classical and modern Japanese music circles. And when combined with other games in the Virtuoso Japanese series, such as KOTO 13 version 2, KOTO 20, or SHAKUHACHI, KOTO 17 can form an incredibly powerful ensemble.
