Meinl Sonic Energy 10" Octave Steel Tongue Drum C Major (Gold)

The Meinl Sonic Energy 10" Medium Octave Steel Tongue Drum in C Major is a stainless steel percussion instrument tuned to 432 Hz, designed for both meditative sound therapy and musical exploration. Eight notes span across two octaves, producing a rich, resonant tone reminiscent of a handpan. The radiant gold finish combines visual appeal with acoustic function—coated stainless steel construction ensures durability and consistent tuning under Australian humidity and temperature variation.

Built around a 25.4 cm diameter body weighing 1850 g, this drum features eight tongue-cut notes tuned precisely to A3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4, and B4 at 432 Hz. The underside sound hole accepts a silicone plug to dampen resonance and focus the tone, while three non-slip silicone feet anchor the drum firmly on any surface. Play with fingers or the included pair of wooden mallets with soft-wrapped rubber heads. A durable carry bag with zip closure and handle keeps the instrument protected between sessions.

The Octave tuning system delivers eight notes across two octaves in a single playing surface, making it accessible for players without prior percussion experience while offering enough tonal range for composed arrangements. Whether placed on a flat surface or held on your lap, the drum responds intuitively to touch and mallet strike, producing an ethereal, contemplative sound that rewards both gentle exploration and deliberate musical statement.
