Mini, C-major
$185
Mini – the basic tongue drum for beginners and travellers
A small, simple, and intuitive instrument with a classic sound that you can take anywhere. Perfect if you're just starting your journey with tongue drums or looking for a time-tested tone.
Get it in your backpack and play anywhere – it weighs only 1.6 kg!
The new classic
These compact 8-note tongue drums first appeared over a decade ago and are still going strong. They were originally handcrafted from gas cylinders. Today, we use pre-shaped steel shells, cut perfect tongues with lasers, and finish the drums with a durable powder coating.
Sound and tuning
The Mini has a bright, ringing tone — reminiscent of a small bell. It offers a classic, familiar sound. When played with the included soft mallets, it produces a deeper, warmer tone compared to playing with your hands.
The C-major scale sounds cheerful, sunny, and uplifting — a perfect tuning for open-hearted, joyful people of all ages. With only a few notes, the Mini is easy to learn in any tuning. This scale pairs harmoniously with our Midi model in A-minor.
Design
The Mini features a tough powder-coated finish and a clean, minimalist look. It comes standard in three matte colors: turquoise, black, and gold. But thanks to our painting process, we can quickly produce custom instruments in other colors including glossy finishes.
