The calabash - Rhythm and groove for your handpan jam: We love the Calabashes for their grounded sound. While voluminous basses are created played by the fists, you will elicit cri spy "taks“ by hitting with your finger(tips). When played together with other instruments, the calabash seldom seems over-present due to its compressed sound and remains discreetly in the background. In our opinion a must-have for every jam.The calabash grows in South America, West Africa and Thailand, among other places. The gourd is dried slowly in the fresh air after it has matured and thus gets its hard, woody and waterproof texture. We are working with a French partner who is collaborating with local farmers in Mali since several years. As this is a natural product, shape, color and size can vary slightly, the diameter is 45-48 cm to ensure depth of the bass. Show more
