By struming the strings close to the bridge sound is overtone rich and in the middle they sound more equal, comparable to a gong. The 25 strings create a song picture in our mind which can help us to relax. In the beginning there only seems to be one tone but with a relaxed mind you are able to listen to all the variety of tones and overtones which weave a wistful and invisible melody. This can open our awareness and make us curious to discover the sounds in nature which are also ever-changing. If you sit in front of the upright self-standing instrument you can play it on both sides with both hands simulataneously. The sound volume is created between the upper body of the player and the instrument and can be ryhtmic, meditative and gong-like.
