Overview
A music lover, educator or sound therapy practitioner gets a small steel tongue drum with its notes tuned at the factory. The coated stainless steel body is finished in navy blue and comes with soft mallets and a drawstring bag.
The reason to consider it is that anyone can play it right away, since the pre-tuned scale means there are no wrong notes. The limitation is the single scale, and the listing does not say how the drum is held or placed while playing.
Who it's for
People who want a soothing instrument for relaxation, classrooms or travel will find it simple to start. Musicians who need a range of keys, or a larger drum with more notes, should look at a bigger model.
Pros and cons
- Pre-tuned, no wrong notes
- Coated stainless steel body
- Soft rubber mallets included
- Drawstring bag included
- Single fixed scale
- Only eight notes
- Playing position not described
Performance notes
Each tongue on the steel body is cut to a set pitch, so striking it with a soft mallet produces a sustained, rounded note. The listing compares the sound to a soft steel pan drum. Because the scale is fixed, any combination of notes stays in tune together.
