Hello everyone!
I spent ages deliberating over this purchase, held back by the price, but I finally took the plunge and bought the FaduDrum gluaphone, also known as a gluaphone. It's not something I would have normally bought, but I'm so glad I did.
I bought it on Wildberries, which you can find here. The cost was around 9,000 Russian rubles, but now I think it was worth every penny – it's been a lifesaver for me. I've been using it for a while now, and I can confidently say it's been a great investment.I was worried that something might get damaged during delivery, but everything arrived intact, beautifully packaged.
On my way home from the delivery point, I popped into two tiny convenience stores near my place, and the shopkeepers were both impressed by how fancy my purchase was.When I got home and unpacked my purchase, I found some nice surprises – an instruction manual, a few stickers, and a postcard.
The postcard is my personal favorite – I'm using it as a bookmark, and I'm not planning to send it to anyone, although the back has a space for a stamp and address.
The instruction manual provides a brief overview of the glucose monitor, the manufacturer's contact details, and a link to the official website and social media groups where you can learn more about the product's manufacturing process, listen to music samples, and watch short tutorials.
When you buy a gluaphone from Fadu, you get the sticks, of course. They're a nice touch, and they make the whole experience feel more complete.
The ends of the gluaphone are wrapped in a soft material, which feels nice against your skin.
I almost forgot to mention this, but the back of the gluaphone looks like this:
Here are the technical specs:Diameter: around 27 cm
Weight: 3 kg
Material: metal, steel.
The manufacturer describes the gluaphone like this:The gluaphone is an excellent tool for meditation, helping you relax and recharge after a long day.
Fadu is our own brand in Kazan, where we produce tonal flutes, gluaphones, and other instruments.
Our musical instruments help you:
- Relax after a long day.
- Get in touch with yourself and your thoughts.
- Develop a love for music and creativity.
When I was choosing an instrument, I was surprised to find out that there are several types with different sounds. You can check out the videos on Wildberries and the manufacturer's website to see how each type sounds. You can also listen to them and choose the one that resonates with you the most. You can buy them online or directly from the manufacturer's website.
I was particularly drawn to the "Luna" sound, so I ended up buying that one.The Fadu Luna gluaphone has a soft and meditative sound. It helps you relax and recharge after a long day. Luna is a feeling of complete freedom, safety, softness, and gentle lulling.
Many of our customers compare the melodies of Luna to a gentle lullaby.
Tonal range: pentatonic F# minor.
I'm no musician, but the last phrase doesn't mean a thing to me - I just love the sound. But when I started playing, I realized it's really Luna. The low sound of the big petals is like Luna hiding behind the clouds, you can't see her, everything is shrouded in darkness. But then the small petals start ringing - and Luna comes out from behind the clouds and illuminates the world with her mysterious light, tiny fairies start dancing in the ghostly rays. It's exhilarating.
I stumbled upon something online that glucometers and vibraphones (apparently, they're the same thing?) are used for meditation and relaxation. Now I'm convinced it's true. Lately, there's been a lot of stress at work, I'd come home all wound up, but as soon as I started playing the Fadu for a few minutes, I'd feel calm. There's that saying 'Like a stone fell from the soul.' That's exactly what happened to me. It's like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I felt carefree.
Then I noticed that if I play before bed, I fall asleep faster and sleep better.
I won't say it's a guarantee for everyone, it's probably just my individual reaction, but I really enjoy it.
By the way, you can only play the glucometer on a soft surface. So, I adapted a small pillow that I don't use, and now it's always standing on my table, I don't move it anywhere, the sticks are right next to it, so I can play anytime I want.
My son often comes over and creates his own melodies, sometimes he can't tear himself away from playing.
So, to sum it up, the Fadu glucometer is a great thing for someone who wants to relax, unwind, and get creative by composing their own melodies that will never be repeated. Thanks to its beautiful design, it's perfect as a gift. So, if you're thinking of giving something, try the glucometer. It's likely to be a hit.
I'm really happy with my purchase, and I think it's a great value for money.
