Tubular Chimes

The special feature the copper chimes is their long resonance. It lasts up to two minutes. Tubes made of copper lie horizontally in elastic cords on an ash wood frame. Copper chimes are available in various pentatonic and diatonic scales with a range of two octaves.
TIP: hand-held resonators
When hand resonators are held over the vibrating sound chimes, you can amplify three tones of your choice and modulate their resonance.

This flute is held horizontally, but blown like a conventional recorder. It is available with finger holes as a soprano, alto or tenor flute.
Copper ShakuhashiA bamboo tube serves as a mouthpiece for a copper flute. The blowing technique is similar to that of a Japanese shakuhashi flute. With this flute you can play the notes wonderfully phrased, gently or powerfully.
Overtone Flute
The curved overtone flute has no finger holes. The pitch is determined by the strength of the air flow and the opening and closing of the end.
