Hello!

I'm looking for a loud high pitch violin screech. As if someone just stopped playing with an abrupt and angry screech. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Wow, I guess this is a hard sound to find! If only I had access to a real violin...it would only be 2 seconds long I would imagine. Just record a simple screech on the violin and record it. Oh well, I will keep on looking!

Possibly edit a bit from this psychoesque violin loop ... http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=46432

I'm suprised there's nothing here (it's hard enough to play a violin WITHOUT screeching!),maybe you could pitch up a part of this cello screech?

Have you tried searching for violin? I know I have a bunch of screeching violin sounds in a sample pack or two...

Maybe this from Philharmonia Orchestra:

You might find something else more exact at the root site:

They have a ton of violin/string expressions.

whoa, the Philharmonic wesite is pretty awesome!

to quote Bono, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for...", but I'm getting somewhere. If I accomplish it, I will post!
