Here's the list of strings that I took directly from MaekMusic!'s site. With Finale: Viola Solo Viola: Player 1 Viola: Player 2 Viola: : Player 3 Cello: : Modern Solo Cello: : Player 1 Cello: : Player 2 Cello: : Player 3 Bass: : Solo Bass: Player 1 Solo Bass: Player 2 Bass: Player 2 Full Strings: Arco Full Strings: Pizzicato Full Strings: Tremolo Violin 1 Section: Arco Violin 1 Section: Pizzicato Violin 1 Section: Tremolo Viola Section: Arco Viola Section: Pizzicato Viola Section: Tremolo Cello Section: Arco Cello Section: Pizzicato Cello Section: Tremolo Bass Section: Arco Bass Section: Pizzicato Bass Section: Tremolo Violin: Solo Violin: Player 1 Violin: Player 2 Violin: Player 3
Here's what MakeMusic! says comes with full GPO: 1st Violin Section (12 Players) 2nd Violin Section (10 Players) Double Bass Section (7 Players) Solo Double Bass 3 Solo Gagliano Violin 3 Double Basses for Sections Solo Gofriller Cello Solo Guarneri Violin Solo Montagnana Cello Solo Pierray Cello Solo Stradivari Violin 9 Cellos for Ensembles Solo Viola 9 Violins for Ensembles Cello Section (8 Players) Viola Section (10 Players) The GPO list looks shorter, but it's not really. Solo instruments and ensembles have a "key switch" for pizz, tremolo, short bows, long bows, etc. Frankly, I would miss the Gagliano violin if I didn't have it. We will have to see what the quality of MakeMusic!'s more generic soloists are when F2006 arrives.
