Manufactured from stainless steel, Babel Drums are a part of the family of percussion instruments that consists of Hand pans, Hank, Tank and Tongue Drums. This large stainless steel tongue drum can create beautiful melodies with remarkably long sustain. This is our larger and more popular version and has an eight-note layout in G-Major - the sound is amazing. Securely mounted onto a frame, these beautiful drums are designed for permanent outdoor installation. Babel drums should be played with the hands, preferably by striking with the fingers. However, in some locations such as elderly care homes or special needs environments, players could find it more difficult to produce a clear sound with just their fingers and so mallets can be purchased to combat this if required. No previous drumming experience is required to play a Babel Drum and both children and adults will enjoy improvising with the mesmerizing sounds they produce. The mellow tones are never brassy or too loud - perfect for musical exploration in the fresh air. Product Highlights Suitable for heavy use environments Sensory Rich - perfect for inclusive playgrounds and sensory gardens Pentatonic Tuning - No Wrong Notes! Disabled Access / ADA Accessible Suitable for Inclusive Playgrounds
