Questions & Answers
I looked at the drum and the materials that came with it, and it didn't say where it was made, but based on the cryptic writing on Amazon, I assumed it was made in China or another foreign country.
This scum bag was also given to me. This was a Christmas gift, and I am extremely dissatisfied with it. It's not just the pattern; in the photos, the strap appears to be thicker and has clips, and there's a matching mallet bag.
It's in the pentatonic scale. Also, it's a good deal.
It is appropriate for children aged one to one hundred, according to me. My 16-year-old grandson received it as a gift. It was a present for a baby. The two of them For the baby, a three-year-old performed it. It was also a hit with my grandson.

I enjoy having musical instruments around the house that are simple to tinker with and play small tunes on. This could be one of the simplest items we've ever purchased! Everyone wanted their turn to play a song on it as soon as they opened the package. br>The numbers/branding are simply clear stickers that can be removed if desired. It also includes several replacements in case you want to color some white/black to help with the notes (the stickers were bent, but there were enough repeats to get unbent stickers if I wanted to use them). br>I couldn't get a good sound out of the fingertip hammers, so I just used the sticks that came with it - which are extremely effective! I think the next one we get will be the larger size so that we can get a few more notes because there are a few songs I'd like to try playing that don't fit into one scale. br>All in all, we're very pleased!.
My son received this item as a Christmas present. Every year, we try to get him to learn a new instrument. The item arrived promptly and in good condition. The travel case was a nice touch! The handpan has a pleasing appearance. It was a lot bigger than I expected, and it weighed a lot. I like how the texture adds to the high-end appearance. The stickers were quickly removed. I recommend taking a photo of the notes and their placement when you open the package if you are unfamiliar with them (as we weren't). It has a lovely sound to it, and he appears to enjoy it so far.
This tongue drum is well-made and produces a pleasant tone. It did come with the majority of the tongues out of tune, which is to be expected given the low price (hence the four stars). Because these tongues were all flat, I was able to fine-tune them by grinding paint and metal off of their inside tips with a small rotary tool. The photo was taken through the hole in the bottom of the instrument and shows where the material was removed on three of the tongues, and I checked the tuning with a tuner in contact with the drum. It sounded good even before it was tuned, so it would be a fun instrument for kids or adults who don't want to play with other instruments as is. br>br>After only a few weeks, I've already learned a few tunes and recorded a tune that was used in one of my church's online services. The tongues are set up in such a way that playing chords is simple. I would buy it again. br>br> Kirk H. Kirk H. Kirk H. Kirk H. Kirk H. Kirk H. Kirk H. Kirk H. Kirk.
It's a good time. On Prime Day, I paid $56 for this drum. I ordered the largest size, and I believe I got a good deal for the money. At times, the sound can be a little tinny. Tuning it by filing down the tongues appears to me to be a bit unrealistic. I don't have access to a metal filing system. My friend discouraged me from purchasing this because he owns a $600 professional tongue drum. His, on the other hand, is perfectly tuned and can be played with just one hand. He can also sit on his drum. The rubber mallets must be used to play this drum, which must sit on a hard flat surface. But for someone like me, who didn't want to spend a fortune and also has a 5-year-old who enjoys playing it on occasion, this was a good value buy. Even if the tones aren't in perfect pitch, they're still soothing.
The steel drum is put to the ultimate test in this video. I've wanted a full-sized steel drum for a long time, but I didn't want to invest in one without first trying one out because of the cost. I was blown away by this little guy. The sound quality is excellent, and the song is enjoyable to listen to. It includes "drum sticks" and rubber rings, allowing you to play with your hands. I was playing Mary Had a Little Lamb and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star because it came with a little music book. It's a lot of fun for my daughter.
This was purchased as a Christmas present for my toddler. A bag, instructions (music book), and other small items were included in the package. The drum's size appeals to me. It's a good size for kids to play with because it's not too big to handle. It produces pure tones that are well-tuned. br>The drum is number-labeled and simple to play using the included music book. br>I'm looking forward to experimenting with different musical instruments.
The bongos we bought didn't make a sound other than slapping skin against wood, so we got this for my toddler son to bang on. As a result, we needed something that was certain to work. a tone of blaze These were a big hit! He bangs them against the wall several times a day. This is an excellent way for him to concentrate his efforts. He, not we, is the one who strikes this drum! The only real criticism is how the notes/numbers are taped to the board. Because they produce sound, they have an impact on its quality.
Although I am not a musician, I found the simple songs included in the book to be relatively easy to learn. As a layperson, I am blown away by the instrument's sound quality and sustain. Because I don't have a tuner, I can't tell you what notes it plays or whether they're slightly flat or sharp. When something is clearly out of tune, I can say that I notice it. br>This was an excellent purchase that I would strongly recommend. I like the case and mallets, but I can't seem to get a sound I like with the finger tabs/strikers, but that could be because I need to practice more. I'm having trouble finding tongue drum music by the numbers online because the dot 2 and the 2 are different, and striking the dot 2 instead of the 2 the song calls for makes the tune sound very off. I'm assuming the dot 2 is an octave above the 2. The small wooden W-shaped block serves as a mallet rest. It even comes with a cloth for cleaning the drum after use.
