Rare Garrahand ELECTRIC Tunable Steel Tongue Tank Drum w Built In XLR Microphone

Description: I bought this years for a Musical Project that never got off the ground The Gorgeous and Rare Purple Color has long been out of production It is in near Mint Condition, As seen in pictures #17, 18, 19 and 20 the Brass pieces on the inside are basically a nut that allows you to Custom tune each tongue to your liking Volume Pot is clean and rotates smoothly The switch seen in picture # 16 allows the output to come from a common XLR or 1/4" Jack I read somewhere when I bought the drum, that the output jacks were made by Neutrik and that the Microphone was made by Panasonic Picture # 7 and 8 shows where and how it can be mounted with a common Drum Symbol stand - Picture # 8 is a Stock Photo I found on line Includes the very clean Makita carry bag - Perfect Fit and the pair of mallets pictured You could spend a LONG time to find another one of these in Purple ! It has never been on the road - only played in my home for about an hour through my Studio PA System - It has not seen the light of day for Years Here is another review : Whether you play it un-amplified as a meditative cure to life's pressures or push the boundaries with cutting-edge FX treatments, either on its own or as part of your set-up, the Garrahand will challenge preconceptions whilst being superb fun too. Innovative, great sounding and very fun. XLR and jack connectors offer vast amplified possibilities. Build The Garrahand is a highly versatile and extremely durable chromium steel-shelled hand drum Its connectivity via both jack and balanced XLR outputs means that its amplified sonic possibilities are endless. The upper playing surface features seven tunable 'tongues' which each have a tuning range of three-and-a-half tones and when amplified it has a melodic range of over two octaves. In addition to the two side-mounted output sockets is a volume control pot and a mounting socket which allows you to position the Garrahand (via a cymbal stand) anywhere within your kit or percussion set Hands On Played with the pads of the fingers the sounds are subtle but beautifully rich and full of tone and, through a PA, nothing short of sublime. We had great results using various weights of felt beater and, although drumsticks would not be a great idea, the beaters posed no threat to this resilient creation. Further revelations resulted from plugging different effects pedals into the Garrahand, and using a sampling digital delay to create a 'drone' to play over was huge fun. The Garrahand can be opened up and inside features 'direct box' circuitry with its round mic actually eliminating all extraneous sounds. The resonator at the bottom adds further sustain and can sound great when played - as can the top 'G-Spiral', behind which sits an adjustable tone-dampener that attains a tabla-esque tone when amplified. An instrument of this complexity is only really limited by one's imagination, but the technique required to play it does not need to be complex. I I imagine with various foot effect pedals and a Loop Station, You could get Very Creative with this drum This will be Thoughtfully Packed Up and ONLY Shipped to the Lower 48 States Ships via : USPS, UPS or Fed Ex Ground for $ 29.50
