Overview
Steel Tongue Drum 12 Inches 15 Tones in D Tuning Diameter 30.5 cm Carbon Steel Mallets and Backpack for Meditation and Yoga

The tongue drum, also known as an ethereal drum or tank drum, produces pure and long-lasting tones reminiscent of a chime. This model has a diameter of 12 inches (30.5 cm) and features fifteen tongues tuned to the key of D. The body is made from reinforced carbon steel, which gives the instrument a full and resonant tone. The edge of the drum is adorned with a braided cord rim with tassels, which is factory fitted. The instrument is suitable for beginners as well as players seeking a greater range than smaller drums.

Each tongue is marked with a tone number, making it easy to play from a simple numerical notation without knowledge of musical notes. The tongues are arranged alternately above and below, allowing for comfortable playing of harmonies and faster melodies. You can play using your hands or mallets – fingers and palms create a soft and gentle sound, while mallets produce a clearer and louder tone. For finger playing, finger rings are included in the package, which enhance the sound and protect fingers during extended play.

The drum is suitable for meditation, yoga, relaxation, music therapy, and playing together with children. All tongues are tuned to the same key, making it well-suited for free improvisation. The protective backpack makes it easy to transport for practice, outings, or school and helps protect the surface of the instrument. You can place the wooden mallets on the included stand after playing to prevent them from rolling away. The surface can be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth after playing, and the drum should be stored in a dry place and protected from prolonged contact with water.

This tongue drum combines a large size, rich range, and simple handling that even a complete beginner can master. The fifteen tones in D tuning provide ample space for real melodies and free improvisation. The drum, with its braided rim and tassels, is also a beautiful interior accessory and a suitable gift for music and meditation enthusiasts. The rich accessories, including the teaching brochure and backpack, mean you can start playing right away after unpacking. Enjoy moments of peace with 15 tones of full and resonant sound.
