Symphonic Steel Iskra - G Tarznauyn
Notes: (G) D Eb F G Ab B C D Sean Beever at Symphonic Steel handpans has developed a way to recreate/re-work one of the most iconic sounds in the history of the handpan. I can not say enough good things about the Iskra. In my mind, its crazy that every player is not beating down Sean's door to acquire one of these super unique pieces of art. I really can't wait to compose more on mine...I call it "Tarzan" because I always mess up the spelling and pronunciation. For more on Symphonic Steel: CLICK HERE |
