About this product
What the sound invites
- Each tongue is made to vibrate when struck, creating a bell-like tone with soft overtones.
- The layout encourages simple, unhurried patterns, so you can play by listening rather than reading music.
- Its rounded form sits easily in a calm corner, ready for a few notes before meditation or journalling.
- The violet finish gives it a contemplative look, with black tongue cuts drawing the eye towards the centre.
- The central Om symbol adds a quiet visual anchor while the sound unfolds.
Violet iron with an Om centre
The drum is made from metal and iron, with a smooth violet surface and clearly cut tongues across the top. The finish has a gentle sheen in the light, while the dark lines make the playing areas easy to see.
This is a steel tongue drum rather than a handpan. A tongue drum uses cut sections of metal that vibrate as individual notes, giving it its clear, rounded sustain.
Playing it slowly
Place it on a steady surface or hold it comfortably in your lap. Strike the tongues lightly with your fingertips, or with suitable soft beaters if you use them, and let each note fade before playing the next.
Keep it dry and wipe away dust with a soft cloth. Avoid leaving moisture on the metal surface.
Om as a visual anchor
Om is a sacred syllable in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions, often used at the beginning or end of chanting and meditation. On an instrument like this, the symbol does not need to be loud or decorative. It simply marks the centre, giving the eye somewhere to rest while the hands find a slow rhythm. Paired with the violet colour, it makes the drum feel suited to a meditation space, yoga room or quiet bedside setting.
