The SWD (Sound Watching Drum) is designed and handmade in Naples (Italia) by the artisan Massimo Tirino. Starting from a high grade stainless steel sheet, the SWDrum is progressively formed and tuned in order to get the maximum resonnance and perfect tuning of each note. The fabrication process provides a reliable tuning over time. This melodic percussion from the family of the tongue drum (also called hank drum and tank drum) can be played placed on your thighs or on a smooth surface. Can be played by hand or using soft rubber mallets. Often used for relaxation music and as a music therapy instrument. 9 notes: E A B C E F# G A B Diameter: 47cm (18) Height: 18cm Weight:4.5kg Protection and carrying bag included
