Revised Instrument List

Finale's revised instrument list ensures your notation looks great the first time—no matter which instruments you’ve chosen—and that you hear the correct sounds when playing a document. More instruments have been added to the list, making it easier for you to choose when starting a new document or editing an existing one.
