Скачать или смотреть Improv 787: Therapeutic (balafon)

This is my "first day playing" video for this little African xylophone I now own because 1) a few days ago, I lost my tuner, so 2) instead of tearing my apartment apart looking for it, I gave up and ordered a new one, and 3) obviously, one cannot order just ONE thing from a music store, which meant that 4) I was vulnerable to the possibility of the impulse buy. This is a very small version of a large, beautiful instrument with a unique sound. I like the small version very much. I haven't been having a great week, and it's great to have something to hit melodically. Tongue drums, glockenspiels, and hammered dulcimers work, but the balafon is punchier. Maybe someday, a miracle will occur, and I will discover a portal to a magic world in which I can have a much bigger apartment and make room for things like my hammered dulcimer and a full-size balafon. A girl can dream.
