Meinl Sonic Energy 16" Octave Steel Tongue Drum D Kurd Engraved Floral (Black)

Meinl Sonic Energy's 16" Octave Steel Tongue Drum in D Kurd delivers a meditative, layered voice through dual–tongue construction. The black finish features laser–engraved floral detailing, making this handpan–inspired instrument as visually striking as it sounds. Built from coated stainless steel, it produces ethereal tones across nine note positions spanning two octaves, each tuned to the D Kurd scale.

The drum sits on three silicone feet for rock–solid stability during both finger and mallet play. A sealed sound hole underneath sharpens the tone when needed, while the open design lets resonance breathe. At 3210g and 40.64cm across, it balances portability with substantial acoustic mass. The package includes wooden mallets with rubber heads, linen and nylon cord detailing, and a zippered carry bag—everything required for transport or storage.

Hit the tongues with fingers or mallets to access the full tonal range across both octaves. The D Kurd scale (D3, A3, Bb3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4) favours introspective, minor–key sonic territories, making it genuinely useful for sound therapy, compositional work, or live ambient texturing.
