The sound models on this page are the most commonly ordered Soma scales. These are the sound-models that are currently being produced on demand (if you are interested in another sound model, send us a message, we may be able to produce it).
Click on the link (if available) to open a Youtube-Clip of the sound-model.
Most of the models listed below are available for rent in Switzerland from Jonas Straumann.
Notation: 1+10 means that the upper side has one bass note (notes with a dome) and 10 regular notes (2+7 means two bass notes and 7 regular notes on the upper side) “Mutant” means that there are regular notes on the upper side that are not in a circular arrangement of notes and the bass note is off-set from the center.
