The Duo is a distinctive instrument with an ergonomic curved design. Accessible from both sides, this instrument can be enjoyed by up to four players. Tuned to the pentatonic scale, the left and right-hand sides are mirrored, and the scale is C-major spanning 2 octaves from C4 to C6.

The notes of the Duo have no wires or strings and are individually and securely attached to the resonators for maximum vibration with incredible tones and resonance.

The Duo can be built with individual aluminium, hardwood, or GRP notes. Each of these materials gives a distinct sound when played. When struck, the aluminium will produce a bright, clear tone; hardwood makes a solid, earthy sound, while GRP is fast and punchy. The Duo Cupla is our most popular Duo and has a clever mix of half aluminium and half GRP notes on black resonators.

The curvy design is about more than just looking stylish. The wave makes it easier for individuals with a limited range of movement, or players in wheelchairs, to reach all the notes. Each player is slightly offset from the other, making it useful for players with special needs who may find direct eye contact difficult.

Playing the Duo is effortless, so friends, siblings, classmates, colleagues, or even strangers can come together, explore with rhythm, and make great music!

High-Use We have designed heavy-duty versions of several of our instruments, ideal for high-use or unsupervised applications, where less durable fixtures and fittings may suffer from wear and tear. Heavy-duty versions have black anodized aluminium resonators instead of the coloured ABS with polyurethane caps on the end of each resonator. The notes are securely mounted onto high-density polyethylene backboards. Finally, stainless steel security fixings offer unparalleled durability.
