Asalato 3D Printing

Brief Introduction to Asalato: Asalato is a traditional African Instrument made out of Oncoba Spinosa shell. It is a simple instrument that can create an African Rhythm and Sound. Asalato became very popular in Japan around the 90's and this cultural mix has created many new tricks and rhythms. Today, Asalato is more than just an African traditional instrument. Many communities for Asalato exists such as Asalato Class, Asalato Cafe, Asalato Club, Asalato Night, and more.
This is the first prototype of 3D Asalato. Not easy to hold for me. I redesigned it according to human engineering and fit  my fingers
