Canarian Timple

[luima]

First of all thanks for your atention and your always intentios to help.

My question, for the more experienced users, is about an instrumet called "timple", is originary of the Canarias Islands and looks like a small guitar but smaller and with a more tense sound, very rich high harmonics.

¿Have any of you any idea if there exists samples for that ? ¿ Can it be replaced beleivabily by any other instrument like harp, ukelele or a mandolin ?

If there no exist such and option I should have to buy a real instrument and play it life, this sound is a must for a Canarias song.

Thanks for the help.
