The Japanese shakuhachi is best known as a notch flute from Asia.
This Chinese variant is built more slender and has a narrow notch like the South American Quena flute. This narrow notch is a little easier to blow than the wide edge of the Shakuhachi.
The flute has 5 finger holes and one thumb hole. You can play about 2 octaves with it, the fingering is very similar to the 6-hole flute, the thumb hole is the 6th hole. Since the holes are very far apart, the fingers are set a little differently than you are used to with the smaller 6-hole flutes.
The flute is made of bamboo, the surface is darkly colored and the head is decorated with a dragon motif. A traditional Chinese lucky knot can be attached to the foot.
The hand embossed singing bowls from Nepal are in sizes from ca. 10 upto more than 20 cm diamete.
This are weights from 200 g to 1500 g.
The singings bowls have different styles:
The singing bowl is inclusive a pad and a leather covered stick.
Cause this singing bowls are made by hand they are different in size, weight and sound. The example of sound are even just examples..
The Mandola is a larger and deeper variant of the mandoline.
Like the mandolne has it 4 double strings, so at all are 8 strings, where always two are in the same tuning.
The instrument is one octave depper than the mandoline in the same tuning Sol - Re - La - Mi (G - D- A - E).
So both instruments are played the same, but the mensur of the mandola is not so narrow like at the mandoline and it has a warmer sound.
The Mandola has the same tuning and donality like a cister or an irish bouzouki. Just the deep strings are not in an octave but doubled.
The mandola comes with a bag and an accord-table.
