Description
The blue-violet nebula steel tongue drum wraps a calming instrument in a deep, cosmic finish. This 10-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 swirling blues and violets flecked with starlight, like a slice of the night sky.
Materials & body
The shell is cut from resonant steel and hand-painted in a blue-violet nebula finish under a protective coating, so the colour stays vivid with very little care. No two surfaces are exactly alike — the cosmic wash shifts with the light.
The tongues & tuning
Ten tuned tongues are cut into the playing surface and voiced in D Kurd (D minor), a forgiving scale where every tongue sits in harmony — there are no “wrong” notes, ideal for beginners and sound-healing work. Played with the mallets or bare fingers, each tongue gives a clean, sustained tone with a soft, bell-like decay.
Finish & colour
Where our engraved models carry a symbol, this one carries a mood: a deep nebula of blue and violet that feels calm and a little dreamlike. It suits a modern interior, a quiet corner, or anyone drawn to cosmic, starry colour. For a warm engraved symbol in the same scale, see the Om Mandala tongue drum.
