Sinori Percussion™ Unveils a New Musical Instrument
By Guest |
After three years of research and development Sinori Percussion™ unveils a new
musical instrument, called Sinori.
Sinori is a metallic percussion made of stainless steel, that allows a wide range of
traditional playing techniques (mallets, drumsticks, brushes, etc.), as well as an
unique interaction, named Body-playing.
In fact, its structure was moulded into a clear-cut shape and provided with a wooden
knob which helps the user to hold, bend and grasp the instrument with ease to get a
number of tones.
For instance:
- The top-right part, because of its small size, can be used to obtain high notes
with an oscillatory motion of the palm of your hand on the metal.
- The top-left part, where the handle is inserted, is meant for use as a tuning
handle. Bending the sheet at that point makes it possible to tune the vibrations
produced by the body of the instrument.
- The sides of the sheet are designed to allow the user to hold it and interact with
it in the best way possible. The user can grab it using the wooden knob to halt and
release the vibrations if Sinori is resting on the user’s body.
- The side handles have been designed to be able to flap the sheet, thus bending to
generate the typical sound of steel bending, and releasing it abruptly to generate
an explosive hit.
- The Sinori’s bottom surface, socalled "soundbox", is made in order to produce low
pitch sounds. The bottom handles are also for the purpose of tuning vibrations from
the metal.
Sinori is made in Italy, weights 5 Kg (10 lb), it’s cm 140 tall (55 inches) and cm
96 wide (37 inches).
Its MSRP price is EUR 890,00 (standard case included) but the first orders will be
available at a special launch price.
The first 5 (five) buyers will pay only EUR 590.00 (almost 35\% off, padded case
included). From 6 to 10, they will pay only EUR 670.00 (25\% off, padded case
included).
