Description
The matte black steel tongue drum strips the instrument back to its purest form: clean lines, deep colour, no pattern. This 10-note steel tongue drum is tuned in D Kurd (D minor) — the gentle, meditative scale at the heart of the handpan world — in an understated matte black finish.
Materials & body
The shell is cut from resonant steel and finished in a deep matte black under a protective coating, so the surface keeps its look with very little care. The plain, minimal face puts all the focus on the sound.
The tongues & tuning
Ten 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 and sound-healing work. Played with the mallets or bare fingers, each tongue gives a clean, sustained tone with a soft decay.
Finish & style
Where our other models carry colour or a symbol, this one is deliberately minimal — a quiet, professional matte black that suits any room and never dates. A natural choice for players who prefer understated design or a stage-ready look. Browse the other tongue drums for engraved and coloured options.
