The Shelter TGD68 is an 8-note tongue drum that comes with everything you need to get started with this cozy and enjoyable instrument. Even if you've never played a tongue drum before or have any other musical background, you'll immediately be able to play small melodies and create beautiful soundscapes - whether you're 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 known as tank drums, as the first known versions were made from small propane tanks before musical instrument manufacturers began to mass produce them in the form we know today. A tongue drum is a hollow and cylindrical drum with notches cut into the top of the drum. When the drum is hit with a mallet or fingers, the notches 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 mallets, but can also be played low and discreetly 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.
The Shelter TGD68 is great for both children and adults whose brains need a relaxing break from the many impressions and thoughts of everyday life.
