Meinl Sonic Energy Octave 16" Steel Tongue Drum D Amaranavy (Blue Floral)

The Meinl Sonic Energy Octave 16" Steel Tongue Drum in D Amara delivers a handpan-inspired meditative voice from high-quality stainless steel construction. Navy blue finish with a lasered floral design creates visual appeal. Each of the eight surrounding notes features dual reeds producing tones across two octaves, generating rich harmonic depth around the central bass note. Tuning centres on A4/a' 440 Hz, spanning D3 through C5 across nine pitches.

The 40.6cm diameter steel body houses tongues tuned to D3, A3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4, and C5. Weight sits at 3210g, providing substantial resonance and sustain. A sound hole on the underside accepts a silicone plug for focused tonal control. Three silicone feet prevent movement during performance. Play with fingers or the included rubber-headed wooden mallets. Decorative linen and nylon cord detailing adds visual character to the navy surface.

The drum functions equally well resting on a flat surface or balanced on the lap. Mysterious, reflective tonal character suits sound therapy, meditation sessions, and ambient music creation. A zippered carry bag with handle accompanies the instrument for transport between locations. The dual-octave reed configuration expands melodic possibilities beyond single-tone tongue drums, enabling richer chord voicings and harmonic exploration across the D Amara scale.
