# Dussek

> A free piano, harpsichord, harp and percussion instrument: every note simulated, none recorded. LV2, CLAP, VST3 and a standalone.

Dussek is a physically modeled instrument: each string, bar or tongue is simulated as it is played, from measurements of freely licensed recordings; no samples ship with it. It runs as an LV2, CLAP and VST3 plugin and as a standalone on Linux, Windows and macOS. The code is under the AGPL-3.0-or-later; each instrument under CC BY 4.0 or CC BY-SA 4.0. Free of charge.
