Meinl Sonic Energy’s line of Octave Steel Tongue Drums will open a world of connections to body, mind, and energy through relaxing and meditative sound qualities similar to that of a handpan. The central bass note in the middle of the drum is surrounded by eight notes, all of which are pre-tuned to a D Kurd scale and ready to be played. Meinl Sonic Energy’s Octave Steel Tongue Drums serve excellently for insomnia, anxiety relief, stress management, or in the hands of casual players seeking relaxation. Simply place the drum in your lap or on a plain surface ? its three silicone feet will keep it secure.





Note: This 9-tone Octave Steel Tongue Drum is tuned to D Kurd (D3/A3, Bb3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4). A diatonic minor scale, D Kurd is the perfect foundation for passionate and inspiring performances.
