RAV Vast - G Pygmy
G Pygmy RAV Vast will enchant you with its deep and mystical sound. Severe primaeval nature inspired us to create this scale. It conjures up the pictures of stalactite caves, lava fields, cold springs, deep creeks and old-growth forests in your mind. The sound of the G Pygmy scale will take you to the places where the spirits of nature live.
There is another RAV Vast Pygmy scale drum – E Low Pygmy RAV Vast. These tongue drums and the F Pygmy RAV Pan create a perfect trio in a truly beloved handpan/hang drum tuning.
Being one of the most popular RAV Vast scales, the G Pygmy has a lot to offer for both beginners and advanced players. If you choose the G Pygmy to be your first tongue drum, you'll never have a chance to fail in playing. Like the B Celtic Minor, it’s a wonderful scale to start your RAV journey and quickly adapt to right away. You can experiment with melodies based on moving a single note and then try to fill them in with some percussive elements, slowly moving forward to adding chord progressions – dyads and triads. And at the same time, the G Pygmy is perfect for advanced creations and making more complicated compositions throughout your growing abilities.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
