Hluru 13 Note Mellow Tongue Drum Golden
Titanium steel alloy. Beautiful mellow tone. Feel the vibrations in your body. Play without any musical knowledge. Full C Major scale.
- Easy to learn instruments
- Perfect for music therapy
- Relaxing activity for the whole family
The Hluru 13 Note Mellow Tongue Drum is made from Titanium Steel Alloy and has a beautiful mellow tone. 12 inches in diameter, it has the potential for great volume and long ringing time when you strike the tongues with your mallet. You can feel the vibration in your body as you play and escape and unwind. It is a little softer and more mellow than the Lotus 13 note. To compare the two, this drum has more subtle harmonic overtones, it's gentler and more calming to play. Those with a finely tuned ear or who are sensitive to vibrations will notice the difference when stepping up to this model. It sound more like a gong where the lotus sounds more like a bell.
It is tuned to the key of C Major and contains all the notes from G3 to E5. The notes are layed out in a way that it's easy to free play and sound beautiful without needing to learn any specific song. If you choose to learn a song, the 3 lowest notes form a line through the middle (G3, A3, B3) then the rest of the notes are laid out in a beautiful array that makes a really lovely sound when free playing just around in a circle, which is what we did for our recording.
This drum weighs 2.75kg and is best laid on a flat surface to play. The drum will vibrate and resonate with whatever you put it on. Experimenting with different sounds on different surfaces is fun! To dampen the sound a little, place it on a soft surface like a towel or padded furniture or sit on the ground with it.
WHO DOES THIS DRUM SUIT?
For an adult, this is a premium drum with a premium tone that will be noticed by a musician or for those who are sensitive to sound and vibrations. It's a beautiful drum for meditation and relaxation. It's large enough and loud enough to physically feel the vibrations when you play which is a big part of the relaxation process. For a child, it's a great way to introduce a musical instrument with no training, but also with the capacity to learn simple songs as you have the whole scale to play with and 13 notes. It helps to train hand / eye co-ordination along with sound. Supervise young children with the mallet.

TONE - With all tongue drums in our store, the higher the price tag, the more beautiful and mellow the tone is. Made from Titanium Steel Alloy, the harmonics have a more subtle overtone, the ringing of the notes after you strike them is just a little shorter with a bit less overlap and you can really feel the vibration through your body as you play and even afterwards.
You can get a wide variety of volume and depth of sound and duration of the ringing depending on how hard or soft you hit the tongues with the mallet. To get the best sound, don't 'grip' the mallet tightly, keep it loose in your hand and let it bounce off the tongue naturally as you strike it. Please watch our video to hear the tongue drum being played. The audio in our video was recorded by The Musical Sparrow in a professional music studio in Australia.
TUNING - C Major Scale. All notes from G3 to E5. This instrument does not need retuning after playing. It will stay in tune. See additional photos & videos for more information about the notes and the tuning system of this instrument.
