A question for an expert like you… I just purchased a new balafon and noticed that the gourds only have too holes (for the sound to go in ). I love the famous “buzzing” sound that the balafon makes and would love to modify the gourds by drilling an extra hole in each gourd and covering it with plastic or thin paper… is this safe for me to try? I don’t want to ruin the gourd element
Muito bom!!! Viva o Balafon, abraço do Brasil.
I Love it when you play this. Is beautiful. 🤎
Thank you for writing back ! I only have top holes , no plastic. Thinking of drilling the side holes and adding plastic
Keep it up bro
What are the notes on a balofon? Mine don't have letters on them. I notice some do. As a beginner it would help me. Thanks
This Balafon is G major.hope that helps?
