Kate Havnevik Tries Out Svaram’s Handheld Tubalophone

Kate Havnevik’s latest video blog features the Norwegian singer songwriter on a musical journey in India and trying out the Handheld Tubalophone, an instrument she found in a shop called Svaram. “This is a new prototype of an instrument Svaram has made. The silver tubes are hollow and make the most beautiful sound. They tune each tube individually. They haven’t got a final name for this one so I just called it Handheld Tubalophone because it’s similar to the Tubalophone they have made which has the same tubes, but attached to a solid wood frame to stand on a table. I loved this one! It was really fun to play and swing it around.” Watch the footage via YouTube below.
