Low cost Hugh Tracey Celeste Treble Kalimba

Shopping online Hugh Tracey Celeste Treble Kalimba for Sale, Buy for Hugh Tracey Celeste Treble Kalimba Get it Now.

Product Description

Features: Groth Music is pleased to once again offer the Hugh Tracey line of Kalimbas, thanks to the efforts of kalimba master Mark Holdaway. The Hugh Tracey Kalimbas are the original kalimbas made by African Musical Instruments in Grahamstown, South Africa since 1965. Made from kiaat wood and high quality spring steel, these are real musical instruments and are easy to play, not just a pretty coffee table ornament. This instrument is played just like the 17-note treble Kalimba, but it lacks the resonant box. Consequently, it sounds even more like an antique music box than does the treble kalimba. The small sound board is well-suited for small hands or children. The small board also permits using the right index finger up-stroke method typically used in mbira playing. A nice trick to increase the volume is to hold it against a window or a table as a sounding board. This kalimba's notes

Economical MIDI Solutions Continuous MIDI Data Pedal Controller

Shopping online MIDI Solutions Continuous MIDI Data Pedal Controller for Sale, Buy for MIDI Solutions Continuous MIDI Data Pedal Controller Get it Now.

Product Description

The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller accepts an effect pedal (or any potentiometer connected to a 1/4" stereo phone plug) as an input and generates continuous MIDI data based on its position. The Pedal Controller may be inserted inline at any point in the MIDI data stream, allowing you to send continuous controller information to any device in your MIDI setup.The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller can be programmed to send most types of continuous MIDI messages, including Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, Control Change, or even System Exclusive messages with a single variable byte (to control specific synth parameters). The MIDI channel is programmable as are the minimum and maximum values transmitted.The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller accurately tracks the position of the pedal or potentiometer connected to it. If the pedal is moved very slightly, the Pedal Controller will send an update even if its position has only changed by a single value. Many cheaper control wheels or knobs only update themselves every 2 or every 4 values, resulting in zipper noise.Another unique feature of the Pedal Controller is its ability to add a variable amount of curvature to the response of the effect pedal. This allows you to correct for pedals with nonlinear responses, or to add greater response at one end of the pedal compared to the other.The Pedal Controller is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive messages. Once programmed, its settings are retained even after power is removed.The Pedal Controller is MIDI-powered and requires no batteries or power supply to operate. A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the unit is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it..

Product Description

I recently returned from Zimbabwe where I had a chance to meet with Cypren Vambe and one of his sons Richard who produced a short performance which was fabulous. Hand made from a block of carefully selected wood which is stained and sun dried prior to making the mbira so as not to interfere with the instruments acoustics. It has 22 metal squarish keys and has a particularly great tone to it with decent sustain. When each key is made they use a master mbira to adjust each key to sound the same as that master mbiras keys ensuring it is tuned correctly. This is the primary instrument of the Shona Zezuru people of Zimbabwe and has been for hundreds of years where the instrument first originated. In a typical mbira band performance there would be 4 mbira players, one playing bass, another playing rhythm, a sub rhythm player, a lead and finally a dancer! The keys may be adjusted up/down on the board to alter the tune. This could make a great gift. A typical mbira dzavadzimu consists of between 22 and 28 keys constructed from hot- or cold-forged metal affixed to a hardwood soundboard (gwariva) in three different registers-two on the left, one on the right While playing, the little finger of the right hand is placed through a hole in the bottom right corner of the soundboard, stabilizing the instrument and leaving thumb and index finger of the right hand open to pluck keys in the right register from above and below. The left hand is cupped around the left side of the instrument, with all fingers but the thumb placed behind the instrument. Both registers on the left side of the instrument are played with the left thumb. Bottle caps, shells or other objects ("machachara"[2]) are often affixed to the soundboard to create a buzzing sound when the instrument is played. In a traditional setting, this sound is considered extremely important, as it is believed to attract the ancestral spirits. Note: each is handmade so wood patina & metal may differ slightly but will be similar.
