Enjoy the sweet sounds of this 11-note tongue drum
With its generous 14 in (35 cm) diameter, this tongue drum has only 11 notes, which means there’s more space between each tongue on the instrument. That above-average spacing helps produce clearer, more crystal-like notes because when you strike one tongue, the neighboring tongues are less likely to vibrate too. This tongue drum is ideal for musicians who want extra finesse and precision in their playing. Research suggests its feel and tone can encourage deep meditation. Picture yourself in a quiet moment, gently gliding your hands across its surface to release pure, calming vibrations. With its intuitive design and focused sound, it’s a great fit for music lovers of all backgrounds. Let its sound elevate your everyday life—bring home the 11-note tongue drum today!

By refining these other instruments, Dennis Havlena helped reshape the contemporary music scene with his brilliant idea of making the body of the tongue drum from repurposed gas cylinders.
