Description

The Melody Tongue Drum 10″ A Hirajōshi Black is a handy steel tongue drum with a diameter of approx. 25 centimetres. With its warm and soothing sound, it is suitable for relaxation in everyday life as well as for the early musical education of children. The eight tone fields of the Sela Melody Tongue Drum 10″ A Hirajōshi Black lie on the Hirajōshi scale, which is derived from the Japanese string instrument Koto. This creates typical Asian sounds when playing this tongue drum, which enchant the listener and transport them to the land of the rising sun.

Since all notes of the Melody Tongue Drum 10″ A Hirajōshi Black fit together harmoniously, a melodious sound is always created without any “wrong” notes. Therefore, this instrument is not only recommended for experienced music lovers and professional sound therapists, but especially for beginners without any previous musical knowledge.

To get you started right out of the box, each Sela Melody Tongue Drum comes with two high-quality mallets with birch wood handles and round rubber heads. The tone fields can also be struck with the fingers. Thanks to its compact size, the Sela Melody Tongue Drum can be stored anywhere – at home, in the office, in the yoga studio or in your luggage. For safe transport, a practical cotton bag is included, which is lined with red velvet on the inside. Rubber feet ensure a secure stand, and a rubber ring protects the outer edge of the reed drum from scratches and dents.
