🍂 Orange Tree Samples – Evolution Clawhammer Banjo

Step into the world of authentic folk tradition with Evolution Clawhammer Banjo, the only sample library dedicated to clawhammer banjo technique. Captured with a beautiful open-back banjo modeled after the Whyte Laydie classic, this instrument delivers the mellow, resonant sound of clawhammer playing along with added fingerstyle versatility for modern productions.

🎵 Authentic Clawhammer Playing

Unlike bluegrass-style fingerpicking, clawhammer technique uses thumb plucks and downward strums for a distinctive percussive sound. Recorded in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, every articulation was carefully studied and captured, from clawhammer sustains and muted strums to thumb hits and harmonic textures.

With Ryan Tilby, a multi-instrumentalist and Billboard-charting artist, performing every note, this library brings you authentic character and expressive realism.
