Cuban Tres - The 3 string cuban guitar from Cuba

Written by Jon Griffin
Thursday, 05 June 2008 11:34
By Jon Griffin Family chordophone Description The first thing to understand about the Tres is that it is a rhythm instrument. Even though it looks like a Guitar, the actual playing of it is rhythmic with melodic lines. Chords are seldom “strummed”, and in many styles the Tres strengthens the melody line a 3^rd or a 6^th above with rhythmic fills in between.

Marimbula - The Cuban thumb piano

Written by Jon Griffin
Thursday, 05 June 2008 16:53
Cuban Marimbula By Jon Griffin Family The Marimbula belongs to sansa family of idiophones that originated from the Bantu cultures of sub-Saharan Africa. The sansa instruments create sound by plucking or striking the metal fingers. Sansas also include the Kalimba or African thumb piano. Unlike the Kalimba, the Marímbula can be easily tuned and therefore used harmonically as well as rhythmically.
