The Schlagwerk Hand Tubes C-Penta are a set of nine precisely tuned aluminium tubes suspended on hand-knotted cords, designed to produce a pure, resonant tapestry of sound. Tuned to a C pentatonic scale, the tubes can be struck with the included MA102 mallet and gently moved or swung through a room. Developed with input from sound therapy practitioners, this portable instrument offers rich fundamental notes and audible overtones for sound journeys, therapeutic sessions and exploratory music-making.
