Any advice on tuning (pitch even) kenkedis?
I play with six - 4 on a ballet-style dundun and 2 played alone.
Many times I absolutely cringe at the dissonance created by my kenkedi hit at the same time as the sangban, for example.
I've asked by djembefolas about it - but they don't seem to notice the pitch issues.
We *could* tune these harmonically - but that seems a little extreme.
Any advice?
Anyone else cringe when instruments play in minor2nds?
