Specification

The E Low Pygmy is a black pearl in the entire RAV Vasts collection. What makes the E Low Pygmy so special compared to other ranges? It has a very low mystical sound reminiscent of a starry night in the middle of the African savannah. The sound of the E Low Pygmy is much deeper than that of other RAVs, it can even sound like a completely different instrument. The languages are tuned into 2nd, 3rd and 4th octave notes giving the musician room to create various compositions.

This range will also be an excellent choice for beginners and experienced musicians. This applies to both handpan players and non-percussionists who are looking for a new sound and eager to try something new.

The E Low Pygmy offers a great opportunity to unlock potential and challenge yourself to try something totally new. It is an excellent instrument to enter into a jam session, preferable to high-end instruments such as the mandolin or the ukulele.

The E Low Pygmy RAV Vast is a perfect range for those looking for an ultimate new sound and would like to take a more resonant vibratory instrument. This range produces a really deep 'bassy' sound that you almost feel in your chest while playing.

The E Low Pygmy scale is the only E-tuned scale in the RAV Vast collection, so it has a unique selection of notes from A2 to D4. Like all other RAV Vasts, the notes have a sympathetic resonance.

What ranges go with the E Low Pygmy? In the RAV family, the E Low Pygmy is a bigger brother of the G Pygmy which has a higher tone. If you want to accompany the E Low Pygmy with another RAV, choose the G Pygmy or the C Golden Gate Scale as the perfect matches.

What kind of music is best to play with the E Low Pygmy? It's perfect for cases where you need a lot of volume and resonance and the ability to draw people into what you're playing. Like the G Pygmy, the scale works great to accompany a yoga or meditation session. It also works great for solo performances.

Having roughly the same diameter as the handpan, the E Low Pygmy provides the same loud sound. The material the Vasts are made from and the special shape provide an incredibly long resonance to these steel tongue drums.

Who this scale will work for

For a beginner

The E Low Pygmy can be a good choice for inexperienced hobbyists who appreciate the special effect that the E Low Pygmy offers. It's a great drum for meditative or spiritual practices, yoga or self-cognition, where you want people to be drawn to sound.

The E Low Pygmy has plenty of sound-filled space for you thanks to its super durable sustain. So you don't even need to know how to create a solid composition, rather than letting the drum create the melody on its own. Play long lasting low-key notes and you'll get the perfect background noise for your yoga session. You can even just repeat 2 or 3 notes, without an exact melody.

For a pro

At the same time, this RAV Vast drum can bring a lot to professional level players who have a musical background and are ready to experiment with a new sound. An experienced musician can try using different techniques with the drum, but it will work best with a meditative playing style. When comparing the E Low Pygmy VS the P Pygmy, the former will perform better for slower paces. If you want to record a meditation CD, E Low Pygmy will be a perfect choice. If you prefer a faster playing style, G Pygmy will be better in this case.

Advanced musicians will love using the E Low Pygmy to create musical compositions. It works as a perfect background for high level instruments like the violin as it will create insane contrast and fill in the cracks in the melody you play.

If you want to use the bass sound of the E Low Pygmy but for some reason want to reduce the longevity of the resonance, you can use a fabric case which will reduce the sustain a bit. This will come in handy if you prefer a fast paced style of play.
