Meet our Instruments
Over many years of musical practice we gathered a great collection of instruments we now share our living space with. Here's a brief overview of the ones we mainly use during our Workshops, Meditations and Sound Massages. Our musical happenings are always an invitation to co-create, try out new instruments, enjoy making music and sounding together.
Handpans
There are few instruments like the Handpan, or Pantam, that can put you into a state of trance so easily. Some say it is carrying the sounds of a distant future into the here and now. In the Handpan Showroom of our Family House, you are invited to explore various kinds and tunings of these magnificent instruments.
Bells & Chimes
The subtle frequencies of our chimes and koshies are especially useful to calm the mind and stimulate meditative experience. They usually resound at the beginning and the end of our sound journeys, marking the threshold between the inner world and the world of the senses.
Frame Drums
Our tunable frame drums are covering a wide spectrum of very low bass and high overtone frequencies, that will definitely feel resonating all around your body. They accompany our tribal chanting and breathing sessions. Their deep frequencies enter into our physical body and are therefore very suitable for what we call sound massage.
Harmonium
When it comes to chanting, humming and toning, we mostly use our harmonium, also known as the portable organ. Its tonal range acts as a fundament for vocal expression and exercises. Our restraints and self-judgements fade away within the harmonium’s invitation to open up and let go.
Gongs
The sound of gongs is definitely not quite of this world. Hard to describe, just to experience. They can clear the mind and cleanse your energy field.
Monochord
Perpetuating the drone sound of its indian relative - Tambura, the monochord has a truly magical and unforgettable sound which is spreading all around your body – with a plethora of overtones. Played laying on your torso, its vibrations will give you a super relaxing massage.
Sound bowls,
Flutes, shakers & Co.
Singing bowls are versatile companions with great calming effects on the brain and body, making it easy to reach a state of inner silence or trance. They are part of our standard equipment as well as all the shakers, rattles, jew’s harps and overtone flutes.
