Attitude #70 was composed by Akira Yamaoka for Silent Hill: Homecoming and released on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC
between the years 2008 and 2009. The game was postponed in various regions because of censorship issues.
It does not seem to play in-game, though it is found as track no. 09 on the accompanying Silent Hill: 
Homecoming Original Soundtrack.

This mandolin sound most likely was created from a sample again; Though it might also be a Japanese koto, 
Chinese guzheng or something along those lines. My European bowl/flatback instruments do sound like this, 
but I understand that American ones might not. Akira could have manipulated the pitch digitally either way, 
but I do feel it is important to point out that the lowest note here is a G3. Which is the end of the range
of the mando [standard tuning] with it's open G string and might be a further hint to it being that and
not a different virtual instrument.

You can use a plectrum or finger pluck to get the desired effect, as those are all singular notes in the
first segment. The second and third consist of low hum ambience via synthesizer and further samples over
metallic percussion. Mandolin transcript in GDae standard tuning.
