Plate Bell Set (Shruti Thali)
Handcrafted by Svaram in Auroville, the Plate Bell Set is a collection of solid brass plates suspended on a refined wooden frame. Each plate is precisely tuned in Just Intonation by Jan van den Dikkenberg and Anandavel Ganapathy, producing pure, sustained tones with a clear overtone spectrum and minimal distortion.
Played with soft mallets, the plates generate a resonant, anchoring presence that carries through space and into the body. Their natural harmonic ratios support deep listening, subtle perception, and the quiet alignment of a sound session. In Oasis Sound Space environments, the set serves as a tonal pillar offering clarity, balance, and a grounded harmonic field that complements the Resonant Sound Bed and other resonant instruments.
Ideal for individual sessions, group work, or permanent installation within carefully designed sound spaces. The instruments are voiced for longevity and tactile elegance, consistent with the natural materials and understated elegance of Oasis Sound Space.
Materials
Solid brass plates, teak and red cedar wood frame, stainless steel hardware.
Made to order. Inquire for specific tunings (including Just Intonation on C 256 or custom scales), configurations, and integration into Oasis Sound Space installations.
