Meinl Sonic Energy Octave Steel Black 9-Note, 16-inch Tongue Drum (D Kurd). Bearing a similar, meditative sound to a hand pan, the Meinl Sonic Energy Octave Steel Tongue Drum is made from high-quality stainless steel, finished with decorative and protective woven cord edging and a centred floral engraving.
This nine-note tongue drum has one bass note surrounded by a ring of eight notes, where each note is split so the instrument can be played across a two octave range using the included rubber-headed wooden beaters. This model also features a sound hole, which not only increases the volume, but can be closed for a more muted sound during quieter sessions. Bundled up with a form-fitting backpack made of heavy-duty nylon, the Meinl Sonic Energy Octave Steel Tongue Drum can literally be taken anywhere, and in maximum comfort. Decorative and protective nylon cord edging.
Tuning: D3 / A3, Bb3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4.
