Local Community Musician Jane Coker recently had to return a borrowed cylinder gong she was using in her workshops. A perfect excuse for us to have a go at making one ourselves!
Here is the cylinder as it came out of the old camping gear……
The bulk of the cutting was done using an angle grinder, with fine
tuning by hacksaw.
Having never made one before, we had to call in the experts for tuning.
Finished!
These instruments are quite simple to make and produce such a hypnotic, beautiful sound.
Thanks to Jane for the inspiration.
