Where are the notes on the Halo?
A – The Halo’s lowest note is played on its central dome of C, and seven or eight notes are tuned into the “sound fields” that create the Halo’s “tone circle.” Tones are arranged in an ascending pattern, alternating (“zigzagging”) from one side of the instrument to the other. There is no “correct” orientation of the Halo, and in fact the player is encouraged to rotate it to find the possibilities implied by all orientations. By convention, however, the “home” position of the instrument is with the lowest tone closest to the player.
