This stainless steel tongue drum offers a compact design with six precisely tuned notes in a C major pentatonic scale (C4 to C5). Users create soothing, melodic sounds by gently striking the tongues with their hands, most often using fingers for the best tone. For those with limited grip strength, dexterity challenges, or in therapeutic settings, separate mallets provide an accessible alternative. The pentatonic tuning ensures pleasing harmonies every time, making it perfect for encouraging musical exploration without any skill required.

Crafted from durable stainless steel, it withstands New Zealand’s varied weather and constant community use in public spaces. It promotes inclusive play by being accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities, and adds rich sensory experiences to playgrounds, school grounds, and parks. The pure, resonant tone supports relaxation, music therapy, and creative group interaction. With low sound levels at distance, it fits well in shared environments.
