Guda Drum NEO 9 Fx by Zen
Percussion is an unique handmade idiophone – it combines Handpan and Tongue Drum
features. The idea of making a Tongue Drum that would have a more comfortable
and compact geometry, but will kept all the benefits of full-size models, is
the main motivation of NEO drum creation.
Though this drum is made of premium quality stainless steel,
but still it has pure, warm and loud sound without unpleasant metal tones. Using
a thicker steel, we were able to achieve better
sustain, volume, sound clarity. Also new steel holds the tuning extremely well
and keeps it for a long time. We use new advanced metal processing technology
which allows to create very smooth surface and clear sound. The convex shape of the hemispheres affects the sound positively
giving it the necessary volume and color.
NEO 9 FX has excellent response for playing too. Balance shape and sizes allow to place the instrument
more comfortably on your laps, this also gives better access to all tongues
while playing.
NEO 9 FX equipped by 4 piezo pickups, so you can use it as
simple as electric guitar:
1) just connect
output jack of drum with “Line input” of any type of amplifier, combo, mixer or
sound card;
2) build your own
sound with your processors units or effect pedals;
3) jam with your
friends or make the records.
It’s easy …
PS In unplugged state Guda NEO 9 FX sounds exactly like acoustic
version of Guda NEO.
This instrument has Aztec design with handmade engraving. And you
will get free handmade rope decoration, premium quality backpack bag and free
wooden plug with logo. The backpack bag made of
durable material with comfortable straps and pocket. Wooden plug is removable:
you can play with it (more dense sound) or without it (more airy sound).
The instrument is tuned in the Zen Trance scale: (E3)/G/B/D/E/F#/G/B/D,
but Guda NEO drum could be tuned in the range of D3
to E5 (the range could be even wider on some scales) and this gives the
opportunity to use more scales in different keys. New scales for NEO are
available. Using the new steel also allows to get bright high notes and a
crisp, tight bass.
