Meinl Sonic Energy 16" Octave Steel Tongue Drum D Amara (Navy Blue)

Meinl's Sonic Energy 16" Octave Steel Tongue Drum in D Amara combines meditative soundscapes with a striking navy blue finish and lasered floral artwork. Built from stainless steel, this tongue drum produces handpan–like tones across two octaves via eight dual–reed tongues arranged around a central bass note. The result is a mysterious, reflective character that rewards both fingertip and mallet playing, making it a genuine tool for sound therapy and compositional exploration.

The 40.6cm diameter instrument weighs 3210g and sits stable on three silicone feet that grip any surface without slip. Its tuning spans A4/a' at 440 Hz through D3, A3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4, and C5–a comprehensive range for harmonic layering and improvisation. An underside sound hole accepts a silicone plug to tighten or open the resonance, offering real tonal control. The pair of wooden mallets with rubber heads and zippered carry bag arrive ready for transport between sessions or gigs.

Seated on your lap or a table, the drum responds to both hand strikes and mallets, making it accessible to players without percussion background. The linen and nylon cord detailing adds visual warmth while protecting the steel surface. Whether for recording ambient textures, live performance, or private meditation practice, this tuning voices itself across wide frequency territory without frequency harshness.
