Metal sounds

Vibrant sounds from singing bowl, gong, cymbal or wind chimes

In the beginning was the Word.
The word is sound.
No one can escape the sound.
Be it the words of the other, the music, be it engines or the noise of the weapon.

There are sounds that harden and remove us from our inner balance.
And there are sounds that can bring these weights into balance.

The sounds and vibrations of the gongs, singing bowls or wind chimes can do this.
The spherical sounds evoke memories of our earthly and cosmic origins.

Vibrating metal can be found in singing bowls, cymbals, chime bars, gongs and also in wind chimes.

Cymbals as very small instruments have very bright sounds. They are often used to set a signal tone or to wake up, e.g. after a mediation.

The chime bars, even called zenergy chimes, are similar in sound. A single massive metal rod that is suspended swinging and struck with a mallet.

Small singing bowls sound as bright as cymbals. Japanese Zen singing bowls are characterized by a very pure sound. The mini singing bowls are finer and more delicate.
With singing bowls the sounds vary whether it is a machine made singing bowl or hand hammred singing bowl. Rotated singing bowls, such as the Tibetan singing bowls, have more bright sounds than hammered singing bowls such as the singing bowls from Nepal.

The gongs also come in different shapes and sizes. From small table gongs from 17 cm in diameter to large feng or the heavier tam-tam. The shining sound of a sun gong is also very beautiful.

But if you don't want to take the mallet into your own hand, the wind chimes are recommended and you can let the wind sound the melodies.

soldier drum

We build our drums solely from natural solid woods and cow or goat skins.
Single pieces of wood are glued together to form a round body, which is then covered on each end with skin.
The skin, either freshly raw or dried and re-soaked, is stretched between an iron ring and a wooden ring. The skins, one on each end of the drum body, are then stretched towards one another and thonged togehter. The tension can be adjusted either by mears of small leather straps or wooden pegs.

If you want to see more details look to our workshop.

The wooden drums produce a warm, soft tone. The thickness of the drum skins determines the sound, which can vary from a sharp infiltrating tone to a deeply vibrating one.
Each drum comes complete with 2 hand-turned drumsticks. Some drums can be played by hand.
We recommend that you use linseedoil to take care of your drum. The drum skins can be kept soft and supple by rubbing them with talcum powder from time to time.
