Tone Drums
At the beginning this instrument only existed in an open tuned version. In 1988, Ingo Böhme developed a technically challenging technique for tuning the large slitdrums. The tuned versions are important for therapeutic work using the support of harmonies to balance and relax the clients. Since 1988 this therapeutic musical furniture has been used in many hospitals, clinics, kindergardens, senior homes and handicapped homes. These Bass-Slit-Drum benches have been used successfully with many different people with amazing results. Some people enjoy the vibration massage, hyperactive children can be calmed with the experience of the deep sound. Acoustically handicapped people can experience sound through vibration and also multiple handicapped persons experience and react to this kind of communication.
