Latin Percussion LP1-5 Standard Flex-A-Tone

The LP Standard Flex‑A‑Tone is a classic percussion effect known for creating eerie, singing, saw‑like sounds with expressive pitch variation. Instantly recognizable in orchestral, film, jazz, and experimental music, the Flex‑A‑Tone allows players to produce dramatic, bending tones that range from subtle shimmer to haunting waves of sound.

Constructed from spring steel, the Flex‑A‑Tone features a steel frame that is easy to grip, with two small wooden balls mounted on flexible wires. As the wooden balls strike the metal surface, the player bends the steel plate by squeezing or releasing pressure on the frame, allowing the pitch to rise or fall smoothly. This hands‑on control makes the Flex‑A‑Tone a highly expressive and visually engaging instrument.

Durable, responsive, and endlessly creative, the LP Standard Flex‑A‑Tone remains a staple in auxiliary percussion setups and is proudly made in the U.S.A.
