Steel Tongue Drum Enigma 8 Notes - Nitrided Steel, Engraved

Enigma steel tongue drum with 8 notes - nitrided steel, engraved

Nitrided steel sounds warmer and shorter than stainless steel: more body, less brilliance. Added to that, an engraving worked in by hand that makes every piece a one-off. Eight tongues, hand tuned.

Nitrided steel: the warmer character

Nitriding hardens the surface in a high-temperature process and protects it against corrosion. In sound terms that means a darker fundamental, a focused decay and a surface that takes daily playing.

Hand engraving on the body

The motif is worked in, not printed on. It has no effect on the sound. No two engravings are exactly alike.

With or without a protective bag

Add the padded bag for transport and storage. More models in our Steel Tongue Drums collection.
