Christopher of the Wolves plays more than 20 different instruments from around the world, including:
Hang
Digeridoo (Didjeridu)
The hang is a percussive steel musical instrument, which uses the same physical principles as the steel drum. The Hang is generally played with the hands and fingers, so the sound is generally softer and 'warmer' than a traditional steelpan. Depending on how it is played the notes can sound like a harp, bells, or harmonically tuned steelpans. Each 'Tone Field' has several overtones built into and around each fundamental note.
The didgeridoo is a wind instrument from northern Australia, which is played by the indigenous people of the region. It is made from a tree that has been hollowed out by termites and is played with a special technique called circular breathing.
Djembe
Dan Môi
The djembe is hand drum that originates from West Africa, but has become popular throughout the world. Djembes are carved from a single piece of hard wood and are usually covered with goat skin. They are meant to be played with bare hands.
The dan môi, which literally translates as “instrument mouth,” is a brass jaw harp that come from Vietnam. Each instrument comes in its own fabric-covered bamboo case, which is attached by string. Rather than being played against the teeth, like most Jews harps are, the dan môi is played against the lips and uses the oral cavity as a resonance chamber.
A traditional reed wind instrument from China. The instrument's name comes from the Chinese words hulu, meaning "gourd," and si, meaning "silk" (referring to the instrument's smooth tone). It is held vertically and has three bamboo pipes which pass through a gourd wind chest; one pipe has finger holes and the other two are drone pipes.
A shruti box is a traditional Indian drone instrument. It is used as an accompaniment to other instruments.
