Sound and character
G tuning has a clear, balanced character – bright yet warming. The overtones shine, while the bass strings hold the sound space gently. This fundamental works beautifully alongside singing bowls, wind chimes and other natural-tone instruments.
How to use
The outward-curved body follows the contour of the body, so it can be played in the lap or placed on a client. Stroke the strings with slow, flowing motions to unfold a long, vibrating carpet of overtones. Ideal for meditation, group sound baths, intuitive singing and therapeutic work.
