Pygmy is minor mood, during which minor seventh and major second skipped. So you have five of the seven notes from the minor series. Pygmy is an increasingly popular vote, partly due to its mesmerising and quickly appealing character.
Pygmy due to the skipping of certain notes, is an easy tuning to play intuitively. Many beautiful and harmonious combinations can be found within this tuning. A rewarding build-up that challenges and inspires.
Note: there is also a variation that Dwarf hot. These two moods are related, but there are also clear differences. Pygmy In terms of structure, is more close to Amara, Celtic Minor and Mystic, in which Dwarf has a more anomalous structure.
A fun fact concerning Pygmy: this vote is designed to be applicable within two votes. A D Pygmy e.g. fits perfectly within the key of D minor (not surprising since it D Pygmy called), but in addition within G minor. This is really a unique feature of the Pygmy-vote!
Ember Steel
Ember Steel is a material based on stainless steel, with modifications made to affect the sound. These modifications also affect its appearance, giving Ember Steel its distinctive reddish-brown copper colour.
Ember Steel is characterised by an above-average reverb, with tones that articulate a broad spectrum. Ember Steel gives nice deep lows, but at the same time has quite a present high.
You can recognise this by a warm sound, with lots of sparkling highs at the same time. This broad spectrum, combined with that characteristic long reverb, makes Ember Steel an ideal material for some slower, meditative and calming playing.
