Great quality for a great price. Mine came with silk strings on the side which is a nice design touch. The tongue drum comes in a nice carry-on bag. Very happy thank you!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely tone, needs tuning.
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2023
I would hesitate to say that this is a "beginners" instrument. Without the stickers on the tongues, you'll get a headache trying to figure it out. Maybe its a traditional (meaning Afro/Caribbean) arrangement of notes? Some of the tongues, specifically High 2 and High 7 do not resonate and you have to strike them hard to get any quality of sound. It's not all bad and I am keeping it because the tone is beautiful. The resonance is outstanding but there are some caveats. So here is a list of PROS and CONS:

PROS: Absolutely beautiful. I have the green drum with brown rope around it. beautiful painted finish.
Lovely tone from most of the tongues. Highest notes are dull.
Great resonance and echo. It can be adjusted to dampen the echo, but ...um why?
Book, finger-mallets, rubber standard mallets (A little too short IMO) all seem fine.
Very nice soft, zippered case.
Gratifying to play.
Sits well in lap or on the three feet on the bottom.

CONS: My first order was missing the mallets and I sent it back. No prob.
Two of the highest frequency tongues (#2 and #7) are dull and do not resonate well. I have to strike them much harder.
Not intuitive -- stiff learning curve if you want to play a tune. (The tunes in the book have many mistakes, but it made me laugh and helped me learn.)
It's way out of tune. I have learned that tuning is possible with a fair degree of accuracy by placing small magnets on the tongues. I will try to tune it to DMaj scale as that is the closest.
Stickers on tongues are unattractive, but they are quite adherent... I dont know why they could not paint the numbers on the tongues. If I can remove the stickers without damage, I will paint the numbers & corresponding notes on by myself when it's tuned.

My overall impression is that it is fun to play around on. I really enjoy the tone and echo. Fun, but not easy to learn the sequence of notes. I am a lifelong musician, so perhaps I am being too critical. In all honesty, you get what you pay for and I think this is spot-on for the money. It's a good starting point for a beginner to an avocational musician. Im satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrival and Condition
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024
The package arrived 1 day early and was well packed with bubble wrap,etc. The instrument is very nice and has a melodious, vibrant tone. Unfortunately, the sound gave me an irritable headache. This is not a knock on the product at all. It simply affected me that way. Our frequencies were not sympatico. I hoped it would induce a calming, thoughtful effect. My preference for inspiring peaceful feelings is a kalimba. Again. I say the handpan was not defective in any way. I'm presenting to my girlfriend for her birthday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mellow, Calming Tone
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2024
Nice soothing sound. Just wish the numbers on each tone were easier to read to play it smoothly. The numbers are so dull they offer no contrast and blend into the drum.
Like the selection of songs in the accompanying song book.
My 12-year old granddaughter loves it, plays it as soon as she walks in the door.
