What are the musical scales called akebono & pygmy & pentatonic?
1) “What scales are available? The HAPI Drums are available in the E or D scale with 8 notes. We use a pentatonic scale (5 notes per octave) or an integral hexatonic scale (6 notes per octave). You can play any note combination and still produce a beautiful sound without a musical background. HAPI Drums come in Major, Minor, Akebono, Pygmy, or Integral scales. The Major scale produces a happy carefree sound. The Minor scale produces a soulful introspective sound. The Minor scale is ideally suited for playing with Native American Flute or other ancient instruments configured in the Minor Scale. The Akebono scale is a Japanese scale with a mystical sound. The Pygmy scale is an African scale with a smooth and uplifting tone. The HAPI Integral Scale is a combination of all the notes in the popular Akebono and Pygmy Scales. This scale was pioneered by PanArt for the Integral HANG Drum and produces a mellow flowing sound.” Source and further information: http://www.didgeridoostore.com/didger
