I-Steel Tongue Drum (ekwaziwa ngokuba yi-"Zen Tone Drum") sisixhobo sanamhlanje esidlalwa ngesandla esidibanisa imisindo yezixhobo zakudala zemveli ezifana nee-Chinese chimes (bianzhong) kunye neentsimbi zamatye (qing) kunye nesimbo sokudlala se-Hang Drum. Isandi sayo esicacileyo nesimnandi sineempawu zonyango, okwenza ukuba ithandwe ekucamngceni, kunyango lomculo, kwimfundo yomculo yabantwana, nakwimidlalo yobugcisa.
Iimbonakalo:
Inkangeleko: Ifana ne-UFO okanye intyatyambo ye-lotus, umphezulu wayo une "tongues" ezininzi (iithebhu zesinyithi ezifakwe ngaphakathi) ezivelisa amanqaku acacileyo xa zibethelwa.
Uluhlu: Iimodeli eziqhelekileyo ziquka iinguqulelo ze-8-note, 11-note, kunye ne-15-note, ezihlala zisekelwe kwisikali se-pentatonic (uGong, uShang, uJue, uZhi, uYu—amanqaku omculo wendabuko waseTshayina), ahambelana nobuhle bomculo waseMpuma.
Indlela Yokudlala: Idlalwa ngesandla okanye ngeemallet ezithambileyo, ukungcangcazela kuvakala kwigumbi elingenanto, kudala ii-echo ezihlala ixesha elide ezivuselela uxolo.
Uhlalutyo lwezinto:
Umgangatho wesandi, ukuqina, kunye nexabiso leDrum yoLwimi lweNtsimbi zixhomekeke kakhulu kwizinto ezisetyenziswayo. Izixhobo eziqhelekileyo ziquka:
1. Intsimbi yekhabhoni(Intsimbi Eqengqelekayo Ebandayo)
Iimpawu: Ubulukhuni obuphezulu, ithoni ekhanyayo necacileyo, impendulo enamandla ye-high-frequency, kunye nokuqina ixesha elide.
Iingxaki: Inokugqwala; ifuna ukulungiswa rhoqo (umz., ukuthambisa ngeoyile ukuthintela ukungcoliswa).
Ityala Lokusetyenziswa: Ilungele imidlalo yobungcali okanye abantu abathanda imali eninzi.
2. Intsimbi ye-alloy(ngeCopper, Nickel, njl.njl.)
Iipropati: Umlinganiselo wesinyithi olungiselelweyo uphucula ubushushu kunye nokuthamba kwesandi, kunye namaza ebhesi atyebileyo.
Ubuchule bobugcisa: Iimodeli zeprimiyamu zingasebenzisa ukubumba ngesandla ukuphucula isandi.
Umzekelo: Iidrama ezigqunywe ngeTitanium (azinawo umhlwa kwaye zinethoni elinganayo).
3. Ubhedu olucocekileyo
Iimpawu: Isandi sayo sinzulu, sivakala kamnandi, sityebile kwiithoni ezingaphaya, kwaye sizaliswe bubuhle beklasikhi.
Iingxaki: Zinzima, zibiza kakhulu, kwaye zinomngcipheko wokutshintsha umbala (zifuna ukupholishwa rhoqo).
Indawo: Izixhobo zonyango eziqokelelwayo okanye ezikhethekileyo.
4. I-Aluminium Alloy
Iimpawu: Ilula kwaye ihlala ixesha elide, ineethoni ezicacileyo kodwa imfutshane kwaye ayiguquguquki.
Abaphulaphuli: Ifanelekile kwabaqalayo, ukusetyenziswa ngaphandle, okanye abo banebhajethi encinci.
Iingcebiso zokuthenga:
Ukukhetha iTonal: Khetha intsimbi yekhabhoni ukuze icace kakuhle; i-alloy okanye i-copper ukuze ifudumale.
Imeko yokusetyenziswa: Khetha iidrama ze-chromatic ezingaphezu kwe-15 ukuze udlale ngobuchule; iimodeli ze-note ezi-8-11 zilungele unyango okanye abantwana.
Ubuchule bobugcisa: Jonga ukufana kwethoni yokusika kolwimi kunye nemiphetho egudileyo (kuchaphazela ukudlala kunye nokulungiswa).
Izinto ezongezelelweyo: Cinga ngezinto ezingangeni manzi, iibhokisi zokuthwala, okanye izifundo ezihlanganisiweyo.
Isiphelo:
I-Steel Tongue Drum idibanisa isayensi yezinto eziphathekayo kunye nobugcisa bokuyila ukuhlanganisa umculo kunye nokuphiliswa ngokomoya, ibe lukhetho oludumileyo lokunciphisa uxinzelelo lwanamhlanje. Xa ukhetha enye, lungelelanisa ithoni, uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali, kunye nenjongo—isixhobo ngasinye sineempawu ezikhethekileyo. Ukuze ufumane "isandi esichukumisa umphefumlo" esifanelekileyo, kungcono ukuvavanya isixhobo ngokwaso.
