Lronbird Steel Tongue Drum, 6 Inch 11 Notes Percussion Instrument for Musical Education, Meditation, Relaxation, Calming, Music Gifts for Familys Friends Adults Beginners (Blue)

You know, playing musical instruments is pretty challenging. I can say this with confidence as someone who tried to learn the guitar but ended up with nothing to show for it. But it turns out there are instruments so simple that all you need to do is tap on them, and they produce pleasant sounds. It doesn’t even matter much in what order you play since the notes are arranged harmoniously. I’m talking about a steel tongue drum with petals. The instrument is made of high-quality metal and coated with a beautiful navy blue finish. Its 11 petals allow you to produce a variety of sounds. Keep in mind that its diameter is only six inches, so playing it with your hands might be a bit tricky. That’s why the manufacturer includes drumsticks in the set—and honestly, I find this very convenient. There’s also a songbook included, though I haven’t tried it yet. I plan to, and it seems like a nice addition. Kudos to the manufacturer for thinking of everything. These kinds of drums are often used in music therapy, yoga, hypnotherapy, or just for fun. I think this drum would also be great for kids since you don’t need any special skills to make it sound good. You simply pick it up and start playing. Probably the only downside I’d like to mention is that the stickers with note numbers on the petals started peeling off even before I began using the instrument. I also couldn’t help but notice that these stickers look exactly like the ones you find on furniture parts you buy on Amazon. Coincidence? Overall, I think this drum is a successful combination of quality, convenience, and affordability. If you’re looking for something to help you relax, reflect, or meditate, this drum is a great choice.

This was a gift to my 3 year old for her birthday and she LOVES IT! I love how it sounds. I also love that it comes with the finger bands to use your fingers on it as well! I want a bigger one!

Great. The entire family loves it

The sound is lovely, and both toddler and adult love playing it. The size is perfect for a toddler as well, and its heavy and sturdy so its difficult to damage when dropped. Because of its weight it can definitely hurt some toes if dropped from a decent height, but I just keep ours low to the ground. My only complaint is that the mallets could be improved - they're just stained dowel rods and glued on rubber ends - they make a nice sound, but definitely a choking hazard and does seem like they would stand up to significant use.

Very happy with it sounds very nice. Hope to in joy playing it. Wish the book to read the music was a little bigger hard to see

I bought two small drums (pink and turquoise) for my younger grandchildren, and bought a larger drum for my older granddaughter. I'm absolutely delighted with the tone, and with how the kiddos are picking out tunes - especially, but not exclusively, the oldest of them. The tones on both small and large drums are very soothing to my ear. I had to get a larger one for myself, as well. All the kids love their drums. What a great purchase!

It makes truly beautiful sounds! Very relaxing to just tap on the various notes. The sounds remind me of a high end wind chime. Size is nice. I looked at several tongue drums, but most had stickers, which I knew would peel off. This model has laser cut numbers. It was a great purchase!

Love

I got this for myself and for my 15 week old daughter. We both love playing with it! The sound is beautiful and really calming. Even a non-musician like me can play tunes on it, but it’s also beautiful to just play random notes.

My toddlers were asking for an instrument to play and since I am really sensitive to harsh/loud sounds because I have severe tinnitus, I did some research and found this. My kids love it and the sound is lovely (like gentle wind chimes). I am very happy with my purchase. It's good quality and produces really lovely tones. I've even learned to play the beginning part of Billie Eillish's song: What was I made for?

I expected a cleaner sound, but this is my first experience with tongue drums, so it might be as it’s supposed to be. Just gave this to my son for his birthday and now I want one for myself, a bigger one with more notes. Last night I gave it a try before wrapping it. It has been a very hard week and I was quite anxious. After playing with it for a while I felt so much better. This morning my son opened his present and he started making sounds happily right away. He is turning four; I have to be present and involved while he is using it to share the fun and to make sure he and the drum are both safe 😅 I see this item becoming part of our lives. Happy with the purchase.

Great in the classroom - fun for the kids and helps them learn the notes on the scale. Wish book had more recent current songs - would suggest that numbering be permanently etched upon it. Kids have a tendency to remove the stickers. Nothing a pitch guide wouldn't help but if you are not musical, you won't have a clue what note they are playing if the stickers are fiddled with! Just saying. Decent enough sound quality for what you are paying for. Also very sturdy - kids can't easily break it.

Ordered blue and received black. But love it! Bought for baby but a whole heap of fun for the whole family. Great musical addition for nursery rhymes
