Along the way, they drew inspiration from a wide range of instruments, including the ghatam, steel drum, gong, and gamelan. Their goal was to create a metal instrument that would be simple and intuitive to play. That’s why the notes are tuned to a specific scale and laid out in a zigzag pattern for a more natural playing feel.
