Eight notes in C major, laid out across ten inches of stainless steel in a gold finish. Unlike most sound-healing instruments, this one is bright — the tone is happy and curious rather than solemn, and it invites playing rather than technique.

The medium octave sits in a comfortable range, and the octavated notes mean almost anything you play lands somewhere agreeable. Use fingers for a soft, muted attack or the included wooden mallets for clarity and volume; the drum answers differently to each, and most players end up using both in the same sitting.

At a glance

  • 10" medium octave steel tongue drum
  • 8 notes, tuned to C major at 432 Hz
  • Premium stainless steel construction with gold finish
  • Bright, playful tone — happy and curious rather than solemn
  • Play with fingers or the included wooden mallets
  • Clear, resonant tones with good sustain

How to use it

Play it with your fingers first. The muted, close attack of fingertips is the sound this drum does best, and it also teaches you where the eight notes sit before you add the volume of a mallet.

Switch to the mallets for clarity and carry. In a group setting the mallets give definition; alone at home, fingers are usually enough and are considerably kinder to a shared household.

Because it is octavated in C major, there are no wrong notes. Play slowly, repeat short phrases, and let the sustain of one note overlap the attack of the next — that overlap is where a tongue drum stops sounding like an instrument and starts sounding like weather.
