Immerse yourself in the history of the American tongue drum
Like most modern musical instruments, the tongue drum drew inspiration from many sound-making creations around the world. Examples include the handpan, created by Felix Rohner and Sabina SchĂ€rer in Switzerland in 2000, as well as the Tambiro, the work of Felle Vega, an artist from the Dominican Republic. That said, the tongue drum is 100% American, since it was developed in the small workshop of Dennis Havlena, an amateur luthier from the state of Michigan. After years of development to reach a satisfying result, he regularly posted updates on his personal website to share the progress of this new musical creation with his community. When it was released in 2007, the enthusiasm was so strong that thousands of people wanted to get their hands on one. In the end, the tongue drum gained international reach and became one of todayâs most popular instruments. Experience those American-born vibrationsâget your tongue drum now!
