Zenko Akebono

The Zenko is a tongue drum created by Metal Sounds. This melodic metal percussion instrument is the result of extensive research and development work carried out jointly by the Metal Sounds team and a group of scientific and industrial partners specializing in metal. Everything has been studied: the material (stainless steel), the cutting of the blades, the assembly, the finishes... And the result is impressive! The sound of the Zenko spreads in soft, round waves. Its harmonic richness comes from impeccable and reliable tuning over time. It will produce different sounds depending on whether it is played by hand or with the sticks (provided). The Akebono scale of C minor is a scale of 5 repeating notes (C D Eb F G). A G3 is placed in the center to provide a bass to lean on. This Akebono scale is a favorite of music therapists, often used to relax and recharge one's energy. Particularly recommended for its soothing properties.
