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 fascinatedâeven amazedâby 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.
