RAV Vast - B RUS
If you are searching for versatility and a wide spectrum of sound in one instrument, then you came up for the right scale. The drum’s name speaks for itself as RUS is the abbreviation for “RAV Universal Scale”.
you'd like to get a multi-purpose hand drum? Choose the B RUS scale if you want to get the classic sound of the western music culture without ethnic tones. Just like salted caramel, it combines 2 polar tastes in one, so you can play in both major and minor tonalities. The Ding is tuned in B. However, it provides you an opportunity to play in B minor, D major, F# minor and A major.
The B RUS will become a wonderful purchase for the musicians who are just starting out. The scale provides many options for a newbie to learn and keep on mastering the skills after taking the first steps. The note sequence of the steel tongue drum provides an opportunity to create a fine-sounding melody literally overnight even for the first-timers. The sound of this scale is able to make you love the tongue drums even if you neither tried playing the handpan nor are you a percussionist.We suggest you to stow the RAV Vast in its bag to protect it from dirt & dust. Apply Phoenix Handpan Oil every fortnight to protect your instrument from rust and to maintain the same sound quality. Do not expose the RAV Vast in the sun for too long.
RAV was invented by a Russian engineer, Andrey Remyannikov in 2013, inspired by handpans, and turned out to become inimitable among other similar instruments. After months of daily work, several broken metal barrels and 100 rejected forms of ‘tongue’ (note) - Andrey’s first prototype was born. 100% hand-crafted, it was a homage to the Hang, but with a different look and totally unique sound.
He adopted the name RAV after handpan forum members and the drums’ very first owners took his full name - Remyannikov Andrey Vladimirovich - and gave the instrument this nickname.
Our instrument gives an easy access to creating music to everyone. Both, beginners and professionals. Today there are more than 20 different RAV Vast scales and more than 7 RAV Pan scales are handcrafted and we're constantly working on the new ones. Each scale represents a certain mood, inspired by a certain culture or harmony
