Stainless, pentatonic scale, neutral scale, intuitive, meditative playing



Scale close to the Ngapa scale, inspired by Asian music / wind chimes.

The stainless material has a specially long sustain and a very soft touch. It unfolds it's charm by being played slowly and softly, allowing the sound to resonate with the silence. I chose to make a pentatonic scale, to take best consideration to the interaction between the notes resulting from the long sustain. Also the scale should be neutral, neither setting a heavy Minor nor a Major mood, but just inviting to a neutral meditative way of playing.


Demo instrument. More stainless in planning :)
