Sound Sample
Ā
The scale of the Solstice is based on a Ā G open tuned chord (D G B D) and can be played in a major or minor mode (with the Bb). The B3 note in the center gives a medium/low bass that is used as a pivot. The sharp and flat notes around this basic chord give this model a notably rich sound.
Extras:Ā Want to play the Zenko standing up? We have a specially designed stand that is both collapsible and adjustable - an essential accessory for your Zenko.
