Many ways to play
01
Bring a new texture to your music. Explore pentatonic instruments for intuitive playing, or chromatic models for a wider choice of melodies and chords.
02
Create space for quiet listening, meditation and sound sessions. Let a single note ring, or explore how different tones resonate together.
03
You do not have to be a professional musician to begin. Start with a few notes, listen closely and discover your own way of playing.
Inside the workshop
Svaritanum was founded by Denis Kashcheev — a musician, engineer, inventor and traveller. The workshop brings together an interest in sound and the craft of making instruments.
From clear quartz to our colourful alchemic instruments, each model offers a different combination of resonance, scale and playing possibilities.
Quartz also has a symbolic place in meditation and sound traditions. In the yoga of sound, the seven notes of the major scale are associated with seven chakras. Some listeners bring these traditions to their practice; others simply enjoy the music and resonance.


The sound of quartz
A light touch on a quartz tube produces a clear note that continues to resonate. The crystal harp belongs to the xylophone family, with each tube tuned to a different note.
Play a single tone, build a chord, or let several notes ring together. Explore a sound that can be delicate and bell-like, or deep and full.
Our instruments use high-purity quartz glass. Hard yet fragile, it requires special tools, careful craftsmanship and gentle handling.
