Plays perfectly, but it has a minor manufacturing flaw. The flaw may include: paint blemishes or marks/scratches in the powder coat finish. Sorry, we do not have a photo available of the flaw. Sold "as is". A great choice if you're looking for performance and value and can overlook cosmetic flaws.
Recommended for Intermediate and Advanced players. Beginners can still enjoy this drum, it just takes more practice to learn than our other models.The included instruction booklet has all the info you need to learn how to play.
The HAPI
UFO (Unique Frequency Orb) is our larger, more versatile drum. We experimented for a year with
different note layouts and scale arrangements. Our note layout is a fine
tuned arrangement so the best harmonics, ease of play, and resonance
are all realized together. It sounds amazing when playing 2 or more tongues together to build chords. Made
from specially selected musical steel using our custom molded shape. It
is easy to play with infinite musical possibilities. With the isolating
rubber feet located on the bottom of the drum you can set it on any
surface to play. We think you
will agree that the sound is out of this world!
Scale: The UFO Drum has 11 notes and is in the C Major Scale: D3, E3, F3, G3, A3, B3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4. There
are nine pentatonic scales in this single drum. They are C Major, D
Minor, D Pygmy, E Minor, F Major, G Major, A Minor, A Akebono, A Pygmy.
It also has one Hexatonic Scale, A Integral. The
center note of C4 ties all the other notes together. The top shell of
the drum is tuned to a higher harmonic support of C5. This helps unite
the notes into a chorus of beautiful sound. C
Major is one of the most commonly used key signatures in music. The
white keys on the piano correspond to C Major, its relative minor is A
Minor. C Major is often thought of as the most straight forward key
owing to its lack of flats and sharps.
