An ideal instrument for improvising

The bass hatame is a hybrid of two instruments: a bass harmony tambourine with 4 chords (C, F, G, Am) and a melody section with 8 strings. The melody section is divided by an octave bridge, allowing it to be played on either side of the bridge, providing a total of 16 notes (G, A, B, C, D, E, F, g, a, b, c, d, e, f, g).

You can pluck both the chords and the melody strings or play them with the mallet. When plucked, the instrument sounds like a cross between an acoustic guitar and a harp. When played with mallets, the sound is more reminiscent of a piano.

The playing style is very intuitive and simple. The instrument has a magical sound that is addictive and very inspiring even for experienced musicians.

Like all other instruments from our workshop, you'll learn to play this instrument naturally. No practice or previous musical knowledge is necessary.

The instrument can also be played very well by two players at the same time.

FAQ

Is there a warranty on the instruments?

Yes, we offer a 3-year warranty on all instruments. However, damage is so rare that we still offer free repairs later on if the fault is ours.

What is the difference between Premium and Standard interface?

The premium finish is oiled three to four times, sanded, and polished. This makes it even more robust, giving it a very smooth surface and a slightly stronger shine. We recommend this treatment to anyone who plans to transport the instrument frequently.
The standard surface is only oiled and polished once, but still has absolutely sufficient, long-lasting protection and a beautiful, smooth surface.

Why are shipping costs not included?

Since we ship all instruments worldwide, and shipping costs vary greatly depending on the country, we cannot generally include shipping costs in the basic price of the instruments.

Are the instruments insured during shipping?

Yes, we insure the instruments and take care of any damage. If your shipment arrives damaged, please immediately send us a photo of the box and the damage to the instrument.
