First-class craftsmanship: The Tinka Tong - Terra by feeltone

It is a real hand flatterer. With its clean finish and soft curves, it offers a pleasant haptic experience. The appealing design of the Tinka Tong is made exclusively from high-quality wood. For even more flexibility when playing, the Tinka Tong has a grip hole at the bottom that allows it to be played with one hand.

How to play the Tinka Tong wooden tongue drum

The Tinka Tong comes with a mallet and can be played by hand as well as with the fingers or the mallet. Please note that only short mallets should be used to avoid the risk of breakage. With the mallet you can dribble, bounce and twirl on the Tinka Tong to create fascinating soundscapes or one hand can hold the mallet while the other hand plays without the mallet.

Elemental Soundscapes - more than a set of sound instruments

Our Elemental Soundscapes are not just sets of sound instruments, but a unique concept in cooperation with several European instrument makers and our US partner "We play well together". Together with them, we at feeltone have set ourselves a goal: to bring together intuitively playable instruments in such a way that they sound good together even without long trial and error or knowledge of sheet music.

Each instrument set is coordinated with one another and goes particularly well with a specific feeltone monochord. "Terra" matches our monochords in the tuning C and F.

Hazard warning: Fingers can get jammed if they are inserted into the slots or openings of the drum. By sitting on the tongues of the drums or by hitting or wedging objects too hard in the openings between the tongues, tongues can break or splinter and splinters can be drawn in or cut at these points. Splinters on the instrument must be removed immediately. The mallets can be mistaken for lollipops and should not be put in the mouth by children. Avoid inserting objects into the opening on the underside, as this can lead to jamming.
