Choose a handcrafted tongue drum
Precisely hand-tuned in a workshop by highly skilled artisans, this authentic 9-note handmade tongue drum is tuned to the Amara (also known as Celtic minor) scale. In other words, the notes don’t follow the familiar do–re–mi pattern (C, D, E, F, G, A, B). Instead, they’re chosen to create a distinct mood as you play. Here, the Amara scale, often associated with Scotland and Ireland—hence its nickname “Celtic”—evokes calm, serenity, daydreaming, mysticism, and softness. This handcrafted tongue drum, finished in glossy black with elegant gold trim, invites you on an unforgettable sound journey. Musicians who play it often describe a deep sense of well-being, along with a truly memorable tone. Step into a one-of-a-kind musical world with this tongue drum!

Travel through the American evolution of the tank drum
The tongue drum is widely regarded as one of today’s most enjoyable percussion instruments, and it’s especially popular with modern players. Its story is rooted in earlier American experimentation and inspiration from older traditions. Drawing from an ancient Aztec instrument, American innovator Jim Doble updated the concept by creating the Whale Drum, a model made entirely of steel. In 2007, the instrument took a major step forward thanks to the well-known Dennis Havlena, who refined the Whale Drum into the modern tongue drum. He used repurposed propane tanks to produce airy, resonant sounds. In this way, the tongue drum—an instrument with strong American roots—was born in the expert hands of Dennis Havlena.
