Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a central bass note and eight surrounding notes, this 16-inch steel tongue drum lays out two octaves in a compact, hands-on format. Play it directly with your fingers or use the included rubber-headed wooden mallets, then set it on your lap or a flat surface. A closable bottom soundhole changes the sound to a more compact response, while three silicone feet help keep the drum in place. The Navy Blue model includes a handled zippered carrying bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lap or tabletop playing with either fingers or the included rubber-headed wooden mallets.
