~ The basic scale is the Ryukyu scale.
It is a scale full of the “tropical atmosphere” that is passed down from Okinawa, located in the south of Japan. ~
The biggest advantage is that there are only 6 sounds.
6 sounds is enough
Although it is not suitable for playing melodies, it is useful for “enjoying the sound freely” and “playing an accompaniment role” when performing in an ensemble with other instruments.
Easy-to-use pentatonic scale
Metal slit drums have a long lingering sound, and the sounds tend to overlap.
The fewer sounds, the clearer the outline of each sound.
The impression of the sound changes greatly depending on how you use it.
The swimming cap mute and “electronic sound” with sticky notes can be applied to other types, but this type, which has a clear outline of the sound, is the most effective and enjoyable.
The “Pentatonic Scale” is basic, so no matter how you play it , it sounds good in music.
Even beginners can enjoy the finest tones just by “lightly touching” the tone plates.
Of course, there is no problem even if you do not have “knowledge of the musical score”.
By using the included tuning magnets, it is possible to easily transition to the “major pentatonic scale” and “minor pentatonic scale” (each scale is marked, so just attach a magnet to the mark). ).
If you attach a magnet to the part other than the mark, you can enjoy the sound away from the scale.
Since the output jack is equipped as standard, the possibilities of performance are greatly expanded, such as playing by connecting to an effector or amplifier.
The demo video is based on the standard type, but the sound tendency is the same, just the appearance is different.
