Ice on Sand for!chromatic!santoor!and!pedal!steel!guitar!
Duration: ca. 5’30”! Notes: • Times are approximate. • Chromatic santoor is a rare instrument, so the santoor part may be performed on any instrument in the dulcimer family. • Santoor may be mic’ed to balance with pedal steel guitar • Pedal steel guitar is in standard E tuning, with A and B pedals moving the fifth up a whole step and the third up a half step, respectively
