Choroi - Musical Instruments

	Choroi Quinta Pentatonic Flute - Pear Wood Code: MERSM02500 Weight: 0.00 Price: $135.99 Quantity in Basket: none
Choroi Quinta Pentatonic Flute made of Pear Wood The interval and pentatonic flutes were specially developed for use by children, particularly in groups. The newly developed Quinta-Flute is light blowing, with very easy articulation and a clear transparent tone, with the newly designed labium and windway, no separate toneblock is needed. All the Choroi flutes are characterized by a warm, light, flexible tone. Compared with traditional instruments, the Choroi flutes possess a tone that sounds more like a voice than an instrument. This unique tone quality leads to a corresponding style of play. A free outbreathing, rather than an active blowing, forms the foundation for the tone. The mouth and lip positions also contribute to the tone formation. The fingers gently touch the specially formed finger holes, which allow half-steps to be achieved naturally by half-covering the holes. A= 440 Hz 6 finger holes range: d’’-e’’-g’’-a’’-h’’-d’’-e’’ All flutes are treated exclusively with linseed oil. Made in Switzerland (55102500) Also available for left handed students at a slightly higher cost.

	Choroi Pentatonic Children's Harp - no case - 7 strings Code: MERSM20000 Weight: 10.00 Price: $608.99 Quantity in Basket: none
Choroi Pentatonic Children's Harp - 7 strings The Choroi Children's Harp is a pentatonically tuned instrument. Its graceful, sculpted form and ethereal tone make the harp ideal for stimulating the young child's listening and free music making. The harp can be given to the child, at age five or six, as his/her first string instrument. Children's Harp is made in various woods (ash, maple, elm, cherry) The Choroi lyres and harps were created through a striving for a characteristic, radiant tone deriving its intensity from the properties of the different types of wood used in their construction. Through carefully formed "organs" inside the instruments, these qualities of the wood are brought into connection with the resonating instrument cavity. Variously shaped sound openings mediate between this inner space and the space around the instrument. Through this interaction, a mobile equilibrium arises, giving the tone a living quality. All the instruments are built with the highest quality craftsmanship from naturally colored, carefully aged wood. In our striving for a beautiful finish, we work with traditional methods, including the use of natural resins and hand polishing.

	Choroi Pentangle Set - bronze - small, hammered - incl. beater and handle Code: MERSM73101 Weight: 0.00 Price: $61.39 Quantity in Basket: none
Pentangle Set - bronze - small, hammered - incl. beater and handle Hear the amazing difference between our handmade tri- and pentangles and those you commonly buy in music shops! Choroi Tri- and Pentangles are hand-crafted and made from brass or non-alloy steel. By driving (hammering) the material, the sound becomes more vibrant and the surface gets a characteristic structured look. Even though the triangle is a very simple instrument, it offers different sound possibilities. Whether it is a bell-like, warm and swinging tone or a clear, vibrant sound, depends on the material and the size of the triangle as well as on the way the instrument is played. Every model has its characteristic sound. The general rule is: brass triangles have a lingering sound and develop a warm colourful timbre. Iron has a concentrating effect with its shorter, strong and elemental sound. Pentangles sound lighter and higher than triangles. The bigger the instrument, the longer and more intense (not necessarily deeper) the reverberation. bronze diam. 6 mm leg length 13 cm (diam. 0.31 inch, leg length 5.12 inch) Manufacturer: Choroi Made Sweden (551731001) Several sizes available in steel or bronze CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE SPECIAL ORDER ITEM Let us Special Order this item for you.
