  • So legend has it, it was the sound of smiths hammering on their anvils - different sized anvils ringing out at different pitches, some harmonious and some discordant with each other - which inspired the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras to investigate pitch, harmony and discord.

    The basis of all Western music. The mathematics underlying musical scales and the tuning of all instruments.

    As such, the anvil is arguably the most important instrument in all of history. :D

  • Feffing Awesome - Its all i can say, just awesome.

  • THE ANVIL OF ZEN. WHO HAS THOUGHT THAT AN ANVIL CAN BRING YOUR INNER PEACE?

  • If only it didn't exceed my hearing range

  • it's so soothing... it's almost hipnotizing

  • My ears are smile-ing!

  • The pitches change so instantly and crisp...like it's almost electronic music

  • Fascinating!
