Description
The yin yang steel tongue drum brings a symbol of balance to an instrument built for calm, with a wider melodic range across ten notes. This steel tongue drum is tuned in D Kurd (D minor) — the meditative scale loved across the handpan world — and its bronze face carries a hand-etched yin yang framed by a fine mandala border.
Materials & body
The shell is cut from resonant steel with a warm antique-bronze finish under a protective coating that keeps its look with minimal care. The yin yang and its surrounding mandala are engraved into the metal itself — never a sticker or print — so the pattern will not peel or fade with playing.
The tongues & tuning
Ten tuned tongues are voiced in D Kurd (D minor), a scale with no “wrong” notes — every tongue resolves naturally against the others. The extra notes over an eight-note model give you more room to build flowing melodies. Play with the mallets or bare fingers for a clean, sustained tone.
Yin yang & symbolism
The yin yang represents balance — two opposites that complete each other, light and dark held in one circle. On an instrument made to calm and centre, it is a quiet reminder of harmony. A natural fit for a meditation space or a thoughtful gift. For a single sacred symbol of sound instead, see the Om Mandala tongue drum in the same scale.
