Choosing Instruments
Choosing an instrument is often personal and intuitive.
If you’d like guidance along the way, our team is here to help.
1. Is prior experience required?
No specific background is required.
Our instruments are accessible to newcomers while offering the depth and responsiveness valued by experienced practitioners.
2. How do I choose the right instrument?
Begin with how you intend to work - personal, therapeutic, or group settings.
Let sound, space, and sensitivity guide the choice
3. Are these instruments handcrafted?
Many of our instruments are handcrafted by skilled artisans.
Each piece is selected to meet our standards for tuning, function, and sound quality.
Because of their handmade nature, subtle variations in appearance and expression are natural and part of what makes each instrument unique.
How we approach instruments
Rather than organizing instruments by type or origin, we approach them through how sound is encountered and worked with in practice.
Different instruments invite different relationships to sound through space, movement, vibration, or sustained tone.
These are not categories to compare, but ways of engaging with sound, depending on context, intention, and sensitivity.
Space & Immersion
Sound is experienced through a curated space and its environment.
(Sonorium)
Movement & Flow
Sound emerges through motion, balance, and gravity.
(Swinging chimes, mobile instruments)
Vibration & the Body
Sound is felt directly through vibration and structure.
(Tuning forks, select bowls)
Sustained Tone & Resonance
Sound unfolds through continuous tone and natural decay.
(Singing bowls, gongs, resonating tubes)
Frequency Relationships
Sound is approached through tuning systems and tonal relationships.
(Planetary instruments, specific forks)
