Note: This is the only contemporary Diatonic fundamental set we have offered in 23 years. It took over two years and three collections to complete. The C fundamental is in quarter-tone tuning because virtually all of the concert pitch C’s being manufactured now have dominant mid-tones. The mix of this set is almost 13 minutes long and the strikes for bowls #1, #3 and #5 sustain for approximately 2 minutes. Bowls #4 and #6 have the longest sustaining fundamentals, over 2 minutes each. Enjoy the sounds!
