On every tongue drum listed you will find African Padauk used as the soundboard. There is simply no other wood that can duplicate the warm harmonic ring produced by this wood.On our 12 Key Standards we use a variety of Red Oak, which provides a very warm tone, for the sides. Red Oak is also the wood of choice for the sides on our 12 and 14 Key Bass Giants.
When you use very hard woods, such as Hickory or Maple, on the sides the result is a slightly brighter tone, with a little more ring.
If you prefer your tongue drum with a brighter tone, we will happily send your Steve Roberts tongue drum with Hickory or Maple sides. This may increase the price, but only slightly. Please email or call, we're always here to discuss tongue drum options.
And if you have your heart set on a specific type of wood, we're also happy to fulfill this requirement as well.
