Meinl Sonic Energy 10" Octave Steel Tongue Drum B Minor (Black)

The Meinl Sonic Energy 10" Medium Octave Steel Tongue Drum in B Minor is a tuned percussion instrument built for meditation, sound therapy, and musical exploration. Finished in black coated stainless steel, this drum delivers eight octavated notes across two octaves—tuned to 432 Hz with tones of F#3, G3, B3, C#4, D4, E4, F#4, and G4. The ethereal, mysterious character of its tone makes it instantly recognisable among steel tongue drums.

Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the 25.4 cm (10") drum weighs 1850 g and sits on three silicone feet for slip-resistant stability during play. A sound hole on the underside accepts a silicone plug to focus and deepen the tone when sealed. Play it with your fingers or the included pair of wooden mallets with soft rubber heads; position it on a flat surface or across your lap to begin. The decorative linen and nylon cord detailing adds visual character, while the included zip-closure carry bag with handle makes transport straightforward.

The Medium Octave tuning creates a reflective sound character suited to both therapeutic applications and musical composition. Musicians working in ambient, electronic, or world music genres will find the octavated note layout responsive to finger strikes and mallet work, with minimal lag between strike and tone.
