Steel tongue drums
Idiopan made the world's first tunable steel tongue drum. Every drum is 100% American steel, arrives tuned, and retunes to new scales with magnets.
How to choose
-
Pick a size
12 inch drums are lighter and brighter. 14 inch drums go deeper.
-
Pick a range
8, 10, 12 or 16 notes. More notes means more melody without retuning.
-
Pick a finish
Every finish sounds the same. Choose the color you like.
-
Plug in, if you like
Add an installed pickup to play through an amp, pedals or a recorder.
Play it anywhere
A steel tongue drum needs no power and no setup. Sit down, rest it on your lap and play with your hands or the mallets.
It goes where you go: the park, the river, the classroom, the stage.
