How to care for Tongue Drum?
Steel Tongue Drums is definitely durable than Handpans, as it is made of thicker steel. It is also stronger than most popular musical instruments, as it is made of steel and is easy to care.
But still worth remember that it is a musical instrument, so we recommend Follow 4 Simple Steps for Care:
- Avoid moisture and extra-temperature.
- Keep instrument from drops and unstable surfaces.
- Control the force when hitting petals.
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
Repeat this regularly - at least once a month, it will help your drum live longer!
Can I play on it with hands?
Yes, it can be played with hands or sticks both (sticks are included), but need to know that for beginners it may take some time to understand the technique of hands playing, it's a kind of percussion kick, not just a touch.
From start you can use sticks and bit by bit move on to playing with hands — with regular practice it will not take you more than a week.
Can your drums be called exclusive and craft?
Usually we make up to 30 instruments per month, therefore, you get not a mass-product, but a unique instrument created with attention to every detail. This is not just a product, it's result of the masters work. By purchasing such an instruments you support new culture. Our purpose is creation of unique art and preserve traditions. Imagine, that your drum is one of only 30 made in a month. Each drum has its own energy, attention to sound and detail. It is a piece of art that you add to your life.
I saw similar but cheaper. What is difference?
Unfortunately, in recent years, there have been many fakes that may look very similar, but this is not it.
Real quality requires a careful approach to tuning notes, also expensive materials and most importantly - knowledge of the matter from master.
This can't be conveyed by a picture and often a dishonest “manufacturer” imposes a false sound - be careful when choosing because disappointment from poor quality lasts longer than the joy from a sweet price.
