The pentatonic tuning is a basic musical phenomena. It consists of large second- and small third-intervall steps. This scale enables the mixing of tones in any thinkable combination – yet it always plays heavenly, harmonic melodies. Pentatonic music is one of the most powerful tools to guide a child into the world of music.
In order to obtain an even warmer and more sonorous scale, this AURIS-Glockenspiel was tuned into a pure fifth-intevall system. Adjusted to the pitch 432 Hz whitch is used by ear physichians and also recomeded by the founder of the Waldorf school system, Rudolf Steiner, while harmonised with the biological function of the ear. The player will relax and build up inner energy.
The AURIS-Glockenspiel ton bars are made by a special brass alloy that creates the amasing, golden sound. The bars are protected with a thin wax layer that alows you to polish them is they gets darker.
