Choosing a tongue drum starts with note count. Our 8-note models suit beginners and focused meditative practice with a simple, easy-to-play scale; 10-note models extend the melodic range for more complex improvisation. Each instrument is tuned to 432Hz or 440Hz in a D minor scale family — an accessible, meditative sound close to what you’ll find on our D Kurd handpans, and a natural next step if you already enjoy melodic percussion. Finish and engraved pattern are a matter of visual preference and do not affect the tuning or tone. Worldwide shipping & 15-day return apply to every order.
