What makes VSCO2 Oboe special?

Each sample is carefully recorded to preserve the characteristic “two-voice” sound of the oboe, its dynamic range, and unique timbral nuances. This allows you to reproduce both gentle pianissimo and powerful fortissimo, while maintaining the naturalness and expressiveness of the instrument.
