Great for the price
Good Life Guy 04.02.2022
It definitely delivers in sound quality and feel.
The step numbers were off and we decided to peel them all off, however the item comes with 2 extra sets of step number stickers which you can stick on if desired.

The highest pitched tone is out of tune and does not resonate as precise as the rest, however for the size, price and value I think its a no brainer.

If you are looking for a small tongue than this is a great option.

The colour is also great and quite glittery.

Good manufacturing, but could be improved
maki42 24.01.2023
When looking for cheap hand drum, this immediately came to my attention. I ordered this producs because I'm an amateur musician and have a hoarding problem with instruments. This seemed to be price/performance for my collection.

Overall the buil quality is good, but it's smaller than I originally expected. The main problem with this Tongue Drum is that not all the "tongues" are correctly tuned, it might be a problem if you have a good ear.

Otherwise a great instrument, if you wnat to play some tunes ocaisonally and you are not bothered with the sound quality.

Recommend if you're a hobbyist, but skip if you need more quality.

Cool little novelty instrument
Teutonic Terror 24.05.2022
I bought this on impulse. I am not a percussionist, but I wanted something unusual to mess around with. This little instrument has a pleasing tone and is fun to play. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars for quality is that the rubber heads on the little beaters are prone to come off. This is something that can easily be remedied with glue, but it seems like something that should have been done at the factory. Nevertheless it is a neat instrument and I would definitely buy it again!

Defective but no time to return it

The highest sounding tongue was muted from the factory. It was a short-notice gift for a friend and I had no time to return it. Tried to fix the silent tongue with a file but it didn't work.
The drum is fun to play, the sound is a bit muddy but quite soothing anyway. I have been told that more modern designs with cuts inside the tongues have better intonation and clearer sounds.

As with many drums, other notes will resonate when it is hit. If you're just playing quietly I recommend holding the drum in your other hand and muting the other tongues (or at least the shell) to prevent this.

The accessories are cheap but fine. The finger picks worked great for me but were too large for my friend's small hands. The mallet holder is useless, couldn't even tell what it was at first.

The paint doesn't look as nice in person, it's quite textured and a little duller to look at, more like an orange-yellow than gold.

As my first pentatonic instrument I found it very fun and relaxing. There are no wrong notes, nothing out of key - so you are free to explore different rhythms with ease. Effortless to play.
