Overview
HOPWELL offers this tongue drum in navy blue, tuned to D Major with fifteen notes. It has an alloy steel body with a painted finish, and the kit adds a music book, mallets and a bag.
A fixed scale and mellow voice suit relaxed playing without prior training. The scale cannot change, and the wording on size and dimensions in the listing does not match.
Who it's for
Beginners, classrooms and anyone looking for a soothing instrument at home get a simple set to play with mallets. Buyers needing other scales or exact dimensions should look at different models.
Pros and cons
- Ready-tuned to one scale
- Mallets, book and bag included
- Mellow, soothing sound
- Fixed scale, no key changes
- Short warranty period
- Dimension data looks inconsistent
Performance notes
Notes from the steel tongues are tuned within D Major, so strikes in any order stay in key. The alloy steel body gives a mellow tone when played with mallets or the hands.
