Boomywang® brand vibrato instruments are made from a bronze super-alloy of startling flexibility.
•Cymbal -like highs
•Deep Vibrato fluttering sound.
•Hit with sticks, pluck, slap, or use mallets.
Boomywang® sends out max wobble (vibrato) if hit dead centre or downward into the hollow side of the bottom tail. Larger Boomywang® hybrids can vibrato at different rates depending on where hit. Hand percussionists often hit Boomywang® with a downward hand slap into the hollow side of the tail. Larger Boomywang® instruments can also be punched with a hammer blow style punch. Ride the larger Boomywang® hybrids for a very dark sound with a hint of highs. People notice that the wobble of Boomywang® constantly shifts the overtone wash so no one sound ever creates a peak. The result is a wild, yet smooth effect.
A very versatile new instrument creating a wash of sound textures. Ideal for the sound therapist who is looking for something a bit different! Light enough to be handheld and moved around the client.
The 18” Wave model features a hammered wave pattern, which slows down the wobble of the instrument.
