Swinging Chime - 6 bar - Durga- fire scale

Hanging tubalophone – 6 notes – Fire element

As its name suggests, the Tubalophone is an instrument made up of sound tubes. These tubes, the number of which varies from 6 to 9 depending on the model, are made of metal and emit very pure and crystalline tones when they vibrate, after being struck with a mallet.

Thanks to the precise tuning of the different tubes to each other, many harmonics are created, filling the entire room with their vibrations and enveloping listeners in powerful sound waves.

This suspended model is made up of 9 metal tubes, from 26 cm for the shortest to 46 cm for the longest, connected to each other by a cord and suspended horizontally from a wooden support.

Held in the hand or attached to a hook, the instrument can be waved, slowly swayed or briskly turned, while playing the hits, in a musical choreography creating new harmonics and ever more surprising sound effects.

This “Durga” model plays a 6-note pentatonic F Major scale, corresponding to the Fire element, based on the cosmic tuning fork of A 432 Hz: C (256 Hz) – D – F – G – A – C.
