MARXOPHONE: A fretless zither played with a system of “bouncing” metal hammers, which are depressed with the right hand. This instrument’s “chord strings” are usually tuned so you can pluck (with the left hand) C, G, F and D7 chords, but mine is tuned to an A5 chord (only A and E notes); all its “hammered” strings are tuned traditionally (to a two-octave C major scale). In this video, I’m stimulating the A5 strings by rubbing them with my left hand fingers while playing a bouncy hammers melody with my right hand; by the end, both hands are on the hammers, for a fun cascading effect. • Song: When the Hammers Fall • © Dale Turner 2018 • http://www.intimateaudio.com
