KOTO 17 是 Virtuoso Japanese 系列的第七款产品，它将现代日本音乐中不可或缺的 17 弦低音古筝的声音带给了世界各地的音乐创作者。
KOTO 17 是在 KOTO 13 开发三年后推出的，它受益于先进的功能，可以从库中获取新的音质。
当然，KOTO 17 可以用作独奏乐器。但它与 13 弦古筝和尺八相得益彰，使其成为古典和当代日本音乐圈的重要组成部分。当与 Virtuoso Japanese 系列的其他产品（如 KOTO 13 Version 2、KOTO 20 或 SHAKUHACHI）搭配使用时，KOTO 17 可以组成一个非常强大的合奏。

KOTO 17, the seventh title in the Virtuoso Japanese Series, brings the sounds of the 17-string bass koto, an indispensable part of modern Japanese music, to music creators everywhere.
Coming three years after the development of KOTO 13, KOTO 17 benefits from advanced features that coax new tonal qualities from the library.
Naturally, KOTO 17 can be used as a solo instrument. But it complements the 13-string koto and shakuhachi extraordinarily well, making it an essential component in both classical and contemporary Japanese music circles. And when paired with other titles from the Virtuoso Japanese Series, such as KOTO 13 Version 2, KOTO 20, or SHAKUHACHI, KOTO 17 can complete an incredibly powerful ensemble.
