Some words you’ll find music folk use all the time – learn what they mean and sound really intelligent!

The Swirl

The Swirl is made of twenty-six resonated anodized aluminum chimes in the key of C major and A minor, ranging in pitch from soprano to alto. The Swirl incorporates individual resonators for each chime, giving a vibrant tone. The instrument can be wall mounted.

Tuned Drums

These five tuned hand drums are made with replaceable plastic heads ranging from seven inches to fifteen inches in diameter. The drums can be ordered in standard or preschool heights to suit your needs. The bases of the drums can be permanently installed directly into the ground in your choice of arrangement. The drums can be painted in any combination of colors.

Contrabass Chimes

Contrabass Chimes

Stunning in both their towering appearance and low resonant sound, these seven chimes are pitched one octave below middle C. The chimes range in height from seven to nine feet. They are made of four inch diameter heavyduty anodized aluminum tube and can be installed in a horseshoe shape to enable the player to experience a surround sound effect. Contrabass chimes are available to buy individually.

Sunset on the Yantzee

The low notes of the Sunset on the Yantzee create a rich canvas of sound for the other melodic instruments to play over. The individual notes are made with two and a half inch aluminum bars that are resonated by three inch diameter tubes ranging from one foot to two and a half feet long. These low tones have remarkable projection for their size.

Spinners

The Spinner is a one of a kind instrument creation straight out of a dream. Available in two versions, alto and soprano; both are in the C major scale with the alto spinner being an octave lower than the soprano. The chimes are anodized aluminum tubes. These instruments are suspended using heavyduty stainless steel ball bearing swivels to ensure continuous smooth operation. The gentle tones and spinning motion of the Spinner create an entrancing effect.

Glass Imbarimba

The Glass Imbarimba is a unique musical design combining the elements of two classic African instruments: the marimba (a resonated xylophone) and the kalimba (a thumb piano). These notes are arranged in the layout of the kalimba with long bars in the middle and short bars on the ends. This allows both hands equal access to the upper and lower notes. The instrument can be wall mounted or set on a sturdy stand. The bars made of fiberglass are entirely weather proof and able to withstand hard use.

Manta Ray

Manta Ray

The Manta Ray is an elegant anodized aluminum metallophone with a non-rusting steel frame. The individual chime tubes are suspended by nylon coated stainless steel cable. The same scale is mirrored to the right and left sides. The range is two octaves and a fifth, the scale is C major. Playing this instrument is a delight.

Pegasus

Many metallophones have been used in music for hundreds of years. There are several different types used in gamelan ensembles. The Pegasus is a hefty metallophone made with twenty-three resonated aluminum bars in the key of C major and A minor. The instrument can be wall mounted or set on a sturdy stand.
