What's new

Joshua Bell *Essential* ????

How long did the refund take? I find myself with no code to put in to the Embertones site (have contacted APD). I also got the Mountain Dulcimer at the reduced price, I'm hoping the will at least honour that being as they are messing me around now!

Luckily I didn't click the buy button. So it was around midnight, when I woke up they had refunded me.
So no Josh or Dulcimer for me.
 
Confusion? The product was available to buy on their site!

I've had no response or refund offer from Audio Plugin Deals yet (will give them 24hrs), maybe it's more complicated being as I've bought the Dulcimer also. They have found time to email me their next big deal in the meantime. Haven't contacted Embertone yet as technically I bought this from APD (so it's them who should ideally sort out the next step).

For the record, I've picked up several libraries from APD without any issues. If I remember right, the process of purchasing and downloading can, as with any third party discount site, get a bit convoluted but that's about it. I would have no problem purchasing from them in the future and have absolutely no doubt that they will correct any errors and make good on any existing purchases.
 
I wonder what's going to happen if I want to later to get the full version- will Embertone offer crossgrades or am I stuck with the lite- version for the rest of my life? If there's a possibility for a crossgrade in the future, I'm so hopping in.

Embertone's website indicates that there will be an upgrade option for the full instrument.
 
Amazing, I'm buying this tonight. I was considering buying the full version if it went on sale on Black Friday, but it seemed like overkill for my needs, so the timing of this is perfect. Embertone is just killing it lately.

APD's website is still messed up, so no buying yet. Clicking to add Joshua Bell Essential to your cart instead puts Ueberschall's The Resource in there. Presumably this will be one of the 8-hr flash sales APD is doing on Black Friday.
 
I just put it in my cart and it stuck a different product in there. So I guess it doesn't work. At least not at the moment.

Wow, I just tried it too and got the same thing. Are we sure this site is legit? I've never dealt with them before. APD I mean.
 
FWIW, I’ve bought from APD and Embertone several times. Never had a problem. This would seem to be a glitchy launch of a new product line. Not ideal but stuff happens I guess.

I have Josh Bell violin and it’s freaking amazing. My opinion of course. I haven’t purchased Emo Violin (yet) so cant really compare (and I’m eligible for the crossgrade price having Emo cello, just can’t quite justify it at the moment). I also have Bohemian Violin and I would say it is equally amazing as JBV for exposed solo virtuoso lines. They are different and I’m happy to have both options. Sometimes one works better than another depending on piece.
