“Urhat” Pyrography on maple wood, carving. 40 x 60 cm

As the ancient kuzhebarian tales say Urhat has four eyes and one of those is a human one. With it the bird can see the world in the way human beeings do. Three other eyes of Urhat are looking into three different worlds: the spirit world, the world of living beeings and the “horhu”-world, the world of different living beeings. Ancient Kuzhebarina tales say that Urhat had tought people how to create magic sounds by using special devices, that is why it is always shown playing a flute, a jew..s harp or a ghost catcher.

Nadishana - solo on 1 tone metal tongue drum

Posted on March 6th, 2009 by nadishana.
Categories: nadishana, music instruments.

 

This is new instrument which you can buy in our online shop now!

It’s fine tuned instruments which can be played by beginners and by professional musicians. A variety of musical scales is offered to you, allowing you to choose your favorite tuning.  
The 1Tone drum is made of Carbon steel. The properties of this material contribute to the divine sound of the drum. This strong metal will keep the drum tuned for a long lasting period.
Our shell design and note placement were inspired by the famous Swiss made hang drum.
The 1Tone drum has a central note which is pressed out by hand and tuned to one of the tones of the scale.
Part of the tongues on the upper side of the drum there is also a single tongue on the bottom side, it is in harmonic relations with it’s “opposite”  note- the upper central note, they are tuned to the same key. The bottom tongue can also be played, it produces a low bassfull sound.
