Meinl Compact Steel 10" C Minor 432Hz Navy Blue Tongue Drum

Compact Steel Tongue Drum with a Soothing 432 Hz Voice

The Meinl Sonic Energy Compact Steel Tongue Drum 10" C Minor 432Hz Navy Blue is a portable percussion instrument designed for players who want a melodic, meditative sound without prior musical training. Eight pre-tuned notes in C Minor produce a soft, soothing tone that invites spontaneous playing and relaxation. The drum is tuned to A=432 Hz, a standard favored in sound therapy and yoga communities for its calming character. Played with the included wooden mallets or bare fingers, this model delivers a rounded, resonant voice that fits a quiet meditation corner or a classroom of beginners.

Designed for Calm, Built for Travel

What sets this drum apart is its combination of a compact 10" stainless steel shell, a pre-tuned scale that needs no setup, and a thoughtful accessory bundle. The rounded resonant body enhances sustain and tonal clarity, while three silicone feet keep the drum stable on laps, tabletops, or studio floors. A sealable bottom soundhole lets players tighten the tone for a more compact, focused sound when the room is small.
