Ton in Ton is not just trading in instruments. We manufacture some of the instruments offered here in our own workshop.
In addition to the ocarina and bone flutes, we have a drum building workshop. Davul, march or mercenary drums and shamanic frame drums are made here.
Furthermore, Chalumeaux, a clarinet predecessor, are created on the drilling machine.
Here you can take a look at our workshop.

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.
Polished brass, available in 3 diameter sizes: 17 cm, 20 cm and 23 cm. Because the thick border the gong has a stabel less-vibrating sound.
The gongs come complete with a padded gong stick.
Dizi is a traditional chinese travers flute.
This flute has a special: between the mouth hoe and the finger holes is a hole, which is closed with a ricepaper.
This paper starts to vibrate while playing and chages the sound to a vibrating timbre.
The fingering is like typical six-hole flutes, playable about two octaves.
We offer this flute in two qualities and differents tonalities.
In china the declaration of tonality is different to europe. They don't sign the deepest note, but the note at the third hole from the bottom. That means a flute in chinese F is C-major (deepest note C).
This Dizi are a good quality made from bitter bamboo, red string winding, departable in two parts, with luck-knot and bag
