Steel Tongue Drum 8 Notes - Japanese Pentatonic, 25 cm

Steel tongue drum with 8 notes - Japanese pentatonic, 25 cm, in seven colours

A tongue drum in a Japanese pentatonic scale: five notes to the octave that together give it a far-eastern character. Whatever you play sounds like a melody from a garden in Kyoto. 25 cm across, eight tongues, stainless steel and copper alloy.

Pentatonic: intuitive and unfamiliar at once

The scale is made for free, intuitive playing. There are no wrong notes, and yet every sequence sounds different from a major scale. A favourite for meditation and sound journeys.

25 cm, 1.7 kg

A manageable format with a full tone. The copper content gives the sound its warmth.

Seven colours

Black, navy blue, gold, lavender, red, green or purple. More models in our Steel Tongue Drums collection.
