LENA Drum "Playful" D | Green

LENA Drum "Playful" is a large melodic steel tongue drum with a wide tonal range in D tuning. It features a full sound, long sustain, and offers more possibilities for longer melodies, gentle rhythms, and intuitive improvisation.

It is played primarily with soft mallets. These bring out the individual notes well and allow them to resonate for a long time. You can play with one or two mallets — slowly, rhythmically, melodically, or using numbered notation. You can also play gently with your fingers, resulting in a quieter and softer sound.

Thanks to its larger body and wider range, it is suitable for meditation, relaxation, music therapy, home playing, musical accompaniment, and longer sessions with music. It comes in a green finish, including a case and mallets.
