The
Wing employs a five-tone pentatonic scale, so all
notes are in harmony. There are no wrong notes!
No difficult techniques are required to produce
their lovely tones — just tap on the middle
of the bar — players and listeners alike will
be soothed and delighted by their pure tones.
The Wing is available in the four pentatonic scales
of G Major, D Minor, C Major and A Minor. All notes
within each set are in complete harmony. A tap on
the bar produces pure tones of consistent quality
that sustain for over six seconds creating layers
of soothing sound.
The Wing has been designed to be played in many
different ways… place the Wing on a flat
surface and you can play using one or two mallets…
or hold the Wing in one hand while playing with
the other. The Wing can even be hung and played
on a wall, showcasing its visual beauty as well
as its harmonic sounds.
As with all Freenotes instruments, there are no
wrong notes, so you can be as free as you wish.
All combinations of the tones will be pleasing.
Play them and hear for yourself.
The Wing has been designed to require no maintenance.
It will never go out of tune and the lacquered metal
bars will not tarnish or stain. There are no moving
parts to adjust. Like all Freenotes instruments,
the Wing is built to last and is sturdy enough for
even the most energetic children. The Wing is practically
indestructible. The rubber pads are all that can
be detached, and a bit of contact cement quickly
makes them as good as new again. |
