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!
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is characterised by medium to above-average reverberation, and a nice clear sound. The mid-high fresh sound is something that comes out clearly with the sound of stainless steel. It has a bit less (top) high and a bit less low than Ember Steel, but moves a bit more into the (high) middle.
This makes stainless steel a fine and fresh sound, which today forms a nice middle ground within all the different sounds in terms of materials. It has slightly less reverb than Ember Steel, but clearly more reverb than nitrided steel.
