LENA Drum MINI A | Yellow

LENA Drum "Mini" is a small melodic tongue drum with 6 notes tuned in A pentatonic. It fits in your palm or pocket, making it easy to take with you on trips, to school, on outings, or anywhere you want to play.

It is played primarily with soft mallets. You can play with one mallet or two mallets - simple melodies, gentle rhythms, or short repeating motifs. You can also play it softly with your fingers, producing a quieter and softer sound.

Pentatonic tuning means that the notes naturally harmonize with each other. Playing is therefore easy even for children and complete beginners. The drum comes in a yellow finish, including a bag and mallets. It is suitable for travel, for a first introduction to melodic tongue drums, and as a lovely gift.

How to Play the Drum

Place the drum in front of you or hold it in your palm and strike the individual notes with soft mallets. You can play with one mallet or two mallets - simple melodies, gentle rhythms, or short repeating motifs.

Thanks to the pentatonic tuning, the notes naturally harmonize, so you can play without sheet music, purely by ear. For simple songs using numbered notation, you can mark the notes with numbers. You can also play with your fingers, but the sound will be quieter and softer.
