Garrahand

The Garrahand - A new tunable electro-acoustic percussion instrument has hit the UK

It is hard to refrain from being excited about the Garrahand, an innovative electro-acoustic and percussive instrument from Argentina. It has managed to capture people’s imagination across the border; from the intuitive and novice player to the modern professional musician as well as the experimental electro artist and not to forget the meditation and healing world. Its origins lie between the Caribbean Steel Drum and the Swiss Hang drum. Often compared to melodic percussion instruments such as the Hapi Drum or Spacedrum. The Garrahand however offers much more, due to its unique in-built microphone pickup system, which is connected to both balanced XLR and Jack outputs and 7 tunable tongues with a range of 29 semi tones. This is a fabulous, innovative and exciting device with countless tricks up its sleeve.

Many professional musicians have already embraced this exciting and versatile instrument. Check out the list of endorsers here.
