The Guitar pan is mostly used as a rhythm instrument, playing chords, in the same way as an ordinary guitar in an orchestra.

Our Guitar pans are made with notes consequently in drums left-right-left on a chromatic scale in the same way as the Double Second.

Double Seconds are laid out in a "whole-tone" arrangement - they are the alto voice with smooth lower notes and clear crisp high notes.

This instrument is most versatile of all the drum voices and allows you to play melodies and solo as well as strum chords.

Double Tenor has a distinctive bright tone due to its note layout and shorter skirt length.

In the Steel Band these pans double the melody and harmonize in support of the tenor pans.
