Abstract: An ensemble of acoustic steelpan musical instruments, being an innovation which significantly improves upon traditional acoustic steelpan prior art. Said improvements include an extension of note range across the assemblage of G-Pans, a substantial reduction in the number of steelpans required to effectively cover the steelpan musical range, the use of a compound design whereby individual component parts of the instrument, specifically the playing surface, chime, rear attachment, or skirt and the playing stick or mallet, are optimized for thier specific function, the application of a variety of techniques for eliminating or reducing, non-musical sympathetic vibrations and the inclusion of a variety of mechanical and acoustic resonator designs, to enhance optimally, the sound projection of the aforementioned instrument.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for percussive harmonic musical synthesis which facilitates state-of-the-art musical expression. It generates melodic sound, bearing well defined tone and note pitch, by striking of uniquely configured multiple note activation trigger mechanism surfaces (termed muzi-pads) with an appropriately sized mallet, stick or other such similar playing implement, for the generation of a desired note, by a given MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) device. It provides an enhanced emulation of the traditional tenor steel pan in its interaction with the player.
