Discover the origins of the tongue drum, a fascinating instrument
While the sound of the tongue drum is truly mesmerizing, the story behind its invention is just as fascinating. It all started with Dennis Havlena, a Michigan resident who spent his spare time building all kinds of musical instruments in his garage. One day, he discovered a brand-new instrument from Switzerland called the Hang and immediately fell in love with it. However, buying a Hang was very expensiveâseveral thousand dollarsâfar beyond Dennisâs budget. So, he decided to create a prototype that would be as close as possible to the Hang while staying affordable. Inspired by this Swiss instrument, he developed the tongue drum in 2007 using a recycled gas cylinder, keeping the overall cost low. He then shared his plans as widely as possible, especially with the percussion community, who praised the sound quality of this new instrument. Over time, the tongue drum grew in popularity to become the instrument it is today. Relive Dennis Havlenaâs excitement and treat yourself to a tongue drum today!
