Play your favourite tunes with this 11 Note Tongue Drum

The 11 note tongue drum is often considered the true "ideal compromise" in the world of melodic metal percussion.

It sits exactly on the border between highly simplistic travel models and heavier, more complex professional models.

It uses a D diatonic scale. It covers one and a half octaves.

It is the first level that allows you to play 90% of popular songs, nursery rhymes and folk music while keeping a compact size.

What are the technical and acoustic features of the 11 Note Tongue Drum?

  • The sound is crystal clear, with a long and enveloping sustain (the resonance duration of the sound), perfect for relaxation. The 11 note configuration uses a universal and intuitive numbering system (called Jianpu) engraved or glued onto this musical instrument:

  • The Note Scale (D Major Scale): The numbers go from 1 to 7 and adapt to the key of the instrument. For this model in D, the correspondence is as follows: 1 = D, 2 = E, 3 = F#, 4 = G, 5 = A, 6 = B, 7 = C#.

  • The Middle Notes: A number without a dot corresponds to the middle octave.

  • The High Notes: A number with a dot above corresponds to the upper octave.

  • The Low Notes: A number with a dot below corresponds to the lower octave.

On this D Major 11 note tongue drum, the layout generally integrates base low notes (the lower A and B) up to the high D.

This acoustic configuration offers all the flexibility needed to carry a melody and harmonise your tunes very easily.

Who is the 11 note tongue drum for?

This model requires no knowledge of music theory and is aimed at three main profiles:

  • Complete beginners (adults and children from 7-8 years old): This is the ultimate frustration-free instrument. Even when striking at random, the notes of the scale (generally major) harmonise with each other. The 11 note format offers enough replayability to not get tired of it after two weeks.

  • Wellness practitioners (Meditation, Yoga, Sophrology): Its acoustic richness and vibrations are ideal for opening or closing a collective relaxation session without being cluttered with an instrument that is too heavy.

  • Amateur musicians: For those who want to compose soundscapes or intuitively accompany other instruments (guitar, flute) without the logistical complexity of a full Handpan.

One of the most appreciable advantages of our tongue drum is its portability.

Thanks to its compact size, you can take it everywhere with you.

Whether you are travelling, camping, at the beach or in your garden, this instrument is perfectly suited for outdoor practice.

Furthermore, it is equipped with a shock-proof rubber rim which makes it a hyper-resistant instrument. No more excuses to keep your talents indoors.
