Ukiyo D Paradiso 9 - High Chrome Titanium

Paradiso is a mood with - the name says it all - a paradisiacal atmosphere. It is a major mood, known for its cheerful and upbeat nature.

Paradiso is a tuning in which two notes are skipped. The major sixth and major seventh are not in the build-up. Skipping these two notes creates space for other tones. In Paradiso, for instance, a pretty low tone follows the ding. There is also quite a range in the high, which is made possible by skipping those two notes.

All this makes Paradiso a very rich and wide scale, with a sunny character. It is the most cheerful scale in our range. Even so, in addition to this cheerful character, Paradiso also has a very fine tranquillity about it.

High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel

High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel is a stainless steel-based material inspired by the sounds of Ember Steel.

It is a material that shows especially strong similarities to Ember Steel: an above-average long reverb, with a sound that reproduces both a nice deep long as well as a fresh and sparkling high.

High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel often has a slightly warmer and rounder character than Ember Steel. The top high, which can be recognised by a sparkling or bright sound, is often present just a little more subtly than with Ember Steel. Sometimes this is also due to a slightly thicker shell, which also affects the sound of each material.
