Low Med Hapi Drum Atlas- 14x7cm

Product Overview

The steel tongue drum is a recent invention, developed in the early 2000s from the handpan and the older Caribbean steel drum — its cut tongues are tuned so the notes ring harmoniously however you tap them. A compact Hapi Drum in a vintage atlas design. Tuned to a lower, mellow register with soft, grounding tones. Comes with mallets and a protective carry bag. Small enough to sit on a shelf or take to a class, it doubles as a quiet instrument to pick up in passing moments.
