Electric Mint Note Range

Electric mint's first playable note is a C.. which I found a bit odd for a guitar instrument.. does this imply it was sampled in a Drop C tuning? I'm not come across any documentation or other info on why its this way.. any insights?

    My supposition is that it is simply because Virtual Instruments are meant to be played on a keyboard (or, at least, that’s how the vast majority will play them).

    How it was sampled? I don’t know ☺️

    @LostInFoundation and what… someone couldn't play in E on a keyboard? And a keyboard or DAW couldn't have a function to transpose to make the key of E all 'white keys'?

    Probably I’m not understanding the issue

    @Martin Schmid Yes, it seems all our guitar libraries have this. I imagine these libraries are meant for non guitarists or keyboard players, I'm not sure if these extra low notes were recorded or pitched down, will try to find out, I've asked the Kontakt Instruments team.
