Vista Pan six bass

 

Six Bass
The Six Bass consists of six barrels and provides a deep rich lower pitched sound. Each barrel has 3 notes for a range of one and a half octaves starting just over two octaves below middle C. It can be compared to an acoustic bass in tone and sustain characteristics, but can produce a louder and more vibrant sound that can often be thrilling when standing close. Below is the note diagram for the Six Bass. We also offer custom note patterns.

VistaPans are available in the following finishes


Hi-Gloss Chrome Finish

The hi-gloss chrome produces a  thicker fuller tone and warmth while providing a spectacular mirror like finish. A fully professional instrument with extra care taken to ensure consistency and balance in tuning.

 

   

Standard Chrome Finish

 Chrome pans produce slightly more resonance in the lower notes than the hi-gloss black. When compared to a painted pan, chrome pans have a fuller, brighter tone due to the fact that paint often restricts the free vibration of higher notes and causes a somewhat more “clunky” sound. After the chroming process, the master tuner must retune the entire instrument and the more time spent tuning, the better the tone.

   

Hi-Gloss Black Finish

Chrome is a classic look for a pan, but the high gloss black is a more quality consistent finish. Many people find it more appealing to the eye than the chrome pan. Hi-Gloss Black is a new thicker material that adheres to the metal much like a chrome giving it a sound very close to a chrome pan resulting in a more brilliant resonance.
