Description
The purple galaxy steel tongue drum brings a cosmic colour to a compact, beginner-friendly instrument. This 8-note steel tongue drum is tuned in D Kurd (D minor) — the gentle, meditative scale at the heart of the handpan world — and its surface is hand-finished in a purple galaxy scattered with starlight.
Materials & body
The shell is cut from resonant steel and hand-painted in a purple galaxy finish under a protective coating, so the colour stays vivid with very little care. No two surfaces are exactly alike — the starry wash shifts with the light.
The tongues & tuning
Eight tuned tongues are cut into the playing surface and voiced in D Kurd (D minor), a forgiving scale with no “wrong” notes — ideal for beginners. The eight-note layout is simple to learn and easy to carry. Played with the mallets or bare fingers, each tongue gives a clean, sustained tone.
Finish & colour
This model carries a mood rather than a symbol: a calm, dreamy purple galaxy. The compact eight-note size makes it an easy first instrument or a travel companion. Browse the other tongue drums for more colours and patterns.
