Shelter TGD68 is a tongue drum with 8 notes, where everything is included to get started with this cozy and pleasant instrument. Even if you have never played a tongue drum before or have any other musical background, you will immediately be able to play small melodies and create beautiful soundscapes - whether you are an adult or a child.
A tongue drum is itself a fairly new instrument, although it is inspired by various ethnic and historical instruments. Tongue drums are also called tank drums, as the first known versions were made from small propane tanks before musical instrument manufacturers began mass-producing them in the form we know today.
A tongue drum is a hollow and cylindrical drum with grooves cut into the top of the drum. When the drum is struck with a mallet or with the fingers, the grooves vibrate and produce sound waves that create a unique, musical and very pleasant sound.
Tongue drums have a very pleasant, soothing and meditative sound that is suitable for music therapy and as a musical instrument for relaxation and meditation. You can sit with it on your lap or place it in front of you on a table or similar. It can be played relatively loud if you use the included clubs, but can also be played low and discreet if you use your fingers instead. In other words, the Shelter TGD68 is an instrument that you can sit and enjoy on the couch without drowning out the TV or disturbing others in the house.
Shelter TGD68 is great for both children and adults whose brains need a relaxing break from everyday's many impressions and streams of thought.
