"TONGO-GO Steel Drum 12" Large blue"

Steel Tongue Drum - Steel Tongue Drum - is a round hollow body made of steel. On the surface there are vibrating cutouts (tones), which are tuned tonal (tonic conductor system) and whose sound is amplified by the resonance body. The drums are very melodic and known for their relaxing sounds and lightness of the game, which requires no particular technique. Each child can select a model and start playing, the number of "tents" is equal to the number of notes that the instrument can produce. The steel tongues can be played with the hands or with padded temples. The game with the hands creates a gentle, soothing, pleasantly oscillating sound. The game with the beats strengthens the sound and the resonance and lets the individual sounds sound nicely. The Jakobs steel tongue drums for children are produced commercially in India. A not too high sound body made of steel with cut-out tongues is reworked in professional manual work, so that each tongue receives its special, correct tone. The drums can be played in sitting or standing when they are on a table or a corresponding support. Larger children and adolescents can also place and play on the thighs in sitting.
