Explore the origins of the tongue drum in America
Deeply rooted in contemporary American musical culture, the tongue drum has become a symbol of this modern tradition since its creation in 2007 by Dennis Havlena, a resident of Michigan. From his workshop in the US, he designed and handcrafted several prototypes of this instrument before sharing his results on YouTube. People were fascinated—even amazed—by what Dennis Havlena managed to create from just a few salvaged materials, including a recycled gas cylinder for the body of the instrument. Because he never filed a patent, countless luthiers and makers then jumped into the tongue drum world, offering models with increasingly refined acoustics. Immerse yourself in this musical legacy—get your own tongue drum today.
Express your musical talent with the portable tongue drum
What helps a musician truly enjoy an instrument? Without a doubt, being able to play it wherever they want. Staying cooped up at home, always playing the same melodies in the same spot, isn’t great for inspiration or creativity. The tongue drum changes that, allowing percussionists to play and create wherever they feel like it. Whether it’s a quick outing just minutes from home or a road trip that lasts several weeks, the tongue drum is an ideal companion that goes with you any distance. Its durability and compact size make it a reliable partner for expressing your talent freely. Buy one now to discover new sound possibilities.
