Kigonki Lulu, Ø 27 cm, yellow-white, A minor
Air - soft, swirling sounds
Expandable to our Elemental Soundscapes Collections
The Kigonki is a metal slit drum (also called tank drum or metal slit drum). The Lulu model is a medium hand pan with 8 finely tuned notes on the top and the same notes repeating on the back. These are not played, but open up a much larger space (reverberation) as resonance tones. This melodic percussion instrument, which can be played percussively and resonates meditatively, has a beautifully lacquered and unique surface. It is just as much fun to play with your hands as with the sticks supplied. As a rule, only the upper side is played, the tones on the underside are vibrated and sounded by the upper tones. With the attached sturdy rope, it can be moved around the room and swiveled after the stop or hung on a stand. With three feet on the underside, it can also be played on a table.
