PRODUCT OF THE DAY: AFRICAN WOOD TALKING DRUM

13 Sep 2011

Our African Talking Drums are carved into an hourglass shape from a solid piece of Mahogany wood, and decorated with a carved motif. Two hand-selected goatskin heads are spanned with high-quality nylon rope. Traditionally, the talking drum is played beneath one arm, and held against the ribcage. The drum is then squeezed to "bend" the pitch while the other hand employs a curved striker.

PRODUCT OF THE DAY: BILL SARAGOSA LINE - GALAXY

09 Sep 2011

Two resonant liquid chambers are connected by a long steel spiral. The Galaxy is held in one hand, while the other hand holds a beater, and it may be played something like a classical triangle. By slightly altering the position of the Galaxy, liquid inside the two chambers exerts variable dampening on the thin steel resonator plates.
