Find your inner balance and fall in love with this tongue drum engraved with the Om symbol!
Trust the sacred Om symbol for your tongue drum
The world is full of exceptional instruments, but have you ever heard of the Om tongue drum? This time-honored instrument, prized by discerning players, offers a uniquely soothing, resonant harmony. A Sanskrit symbol found in traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, the syllable Om, sometimes written Aum or Ohm, represents the beginning, continuation, and end of everything that has been, is, and will be. The tone created when this syllable is chanted is often described as the primal vibration from which the universe emerged. That’s why it’s traditionally repeated with focused attention, like a deeply spiritual mantra. Naturally, this symbol is engraved onto the metal shell of this premium tongue drum. Available in three resonance-chamber sizes and tuned to C minor, it’s designed to help you settle into serenity and inner peace, one note at a time.
