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.

Xiao

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.

Fingering chart for the Xiao

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 gaita are bagpipes which are traditionally played in spain. They are mostly made with one Bordun, sometimes with two. The pipes give a loud, relatively warm, pleasing sound.
The instruments we offer have one Bordun, a pipe in Do (C) and a 'goretex' bag covered in velvet in traditional Basque colours. The pipe is played using a wooden reed, and is very easy to master, making these bagpipes ideal for beginners.
