DIATONIC TEMBOS OUTDOOR INSTRUMENT

The Percussion Play Diatonic Tembos are a perfect option for any music park, trail or urban space. Parks and places such as metro river walks, resorts or any public park settings, are ideal locations for outdoor instruments. The design of our Tembos is based on a group of instruments called plosive aerophones.  The basic principle of making music on our Tembos is to beat or slap on one end of the tube to create a pressure wave. The length of the tube determines the length of the wave, and different wavelengths make different notes.  These stainless steel Tembos are tuned to the C-major diatonic scale.  Quirky and rather addictive, you can make some surprisingly pleasing deep sounds on the diatonic tembos by striking the notes with the durable neoprene paddles provided.
