HAPI Bell.
Brand new and plays perfectly. Has paint flaws on both sides of the bell (see photo). A great choice if you're looking for performance and value and can overlook cosmetic flaws. Sorry, we DO NOT have a photo available of the flaw. Sold "as is".
Recommended for beginner, intermediate, and advanced players. The HAPI Bell can be used in 3 different ways: as a bell/gong, as a tongue drum, or as a singing bowl.
- Bell/Gong.
Strike the side with our supplied felt mallet and the deep meditative
note of A2 is heard. This long sustained tone is complex and
mesmerizing. The tongues on the top are also excited when the bell tone
is struck. They ring in D Minor or G Major (depending on your scale
choice) producing even more rich harmonics. It comes with a self
centering rubber ball and string for hanging inside your home or outside
in the garden.
- Singing Bowl.
Turn the HAPI Bell with the rim facing up as a bowl and set it on a
table or use the wood disc stand and set in your lap. Our non-marking
rubber ring creates a stable base and allow it to sing freely. Use our
supplied wooden dowel made from plantation grown wood. Gently go around
the outside of the rim with the dowel and listen as a deep humming
grows. The bowl is tuned to A2 and with the supporting harmonic tones of
the tongues an even richer sound than regular singing bowls can be
heard. Try a steeper angle on the dowel and slightly more pressure to
produce an even higher singing tone for more variety.
- Tongue Drum.
Set the HAPI Bell on the wooden disc stand with post and it sits almost
magically hovering over the base. Play it in your lap or on a table.
Use your fingers or the supplied mallets to play the tongues. As the
tongues are played the bell tone will begin humming in the background.
It blends perfectly to create a beautiful soundscape of tone. The
tongues are arranged in an intuitive pattern and make it easy to explore
new musical horizons. While playing the tongues it is also possible to
strike the side of the bell and play the bell tone as well.It includes a
handbook that has instructions on use and mallet and hand playing
techniques.
