HAPI Drum BELL-D MIN 12" Steel Tongue Drum - D Minor Pentatonic, Copper

The HAPI Bell tongue drum is recommended for beginner, intermediate, and advanced players. The unique design of the HAPI Bell gives you three different instruments in one!

Bell/Gong - Strike the side with the included felt mallet, and the deep meditative note of A2 is heard. This long, sustained tone activates rich overtones when the bell tone is struck. A self-centering rubber ball and string are included allowing you to hang the bell wherever you wish.

Singing Bowl - Turn the HAPI Bell with the rim facing up like bowl and set it on a table or use the included wood disc stand to place it in your lap. The rubber ring creates a stable base, allowing the bowl to sing freely. Use the supplied wooden dowel to gently go around the outside of the rim and listen as a deep humming grows. The bowl is tuned to A2, and with the supporting harmonic tones of the tongues, an even richer sound than standard singing bowls can be heard. Try a steeper angle on the dowel and slightly more pressure to produce an even higher singing tone for more variety.

Tongue Drum - Set the HAPI Bell on the included wooden disc stand with post to play it as a tongue drum. The stand makes it easy to play it in your lap or on a table. The tongues can be played with your fingers or the included rubber mallets. As the tongues are played, the bell tone will begin humming in the background. It blends perfectly to create a beautiful soundscape of tone. While playing the tongues it is also possible to strike the side of the bell and play the bell tone as well. A handbook is included that provides instructions and tips on playing techniques.
