Sturdy. Beautiful tone. Easy to play. The tongue drum is as easy and fun as a kalimba. This is a great example of one. Would buy again.

Great for a younger child if they have interest in music or like to play items like drums.
Of all things we bought this for a 2 year old for a unique Christmas item. My husband was a drummer so this fits right into his world too.What if found is awesome is my little girl can hit is as hard as she wants to and it is never annoying loud. The notes that might clash never give you an odd feeling and the kid has musical fun that actually sounds very tolerable.Even other family members have commented how great of an idea this was.A find side thing my toddler likes to do is put small toys in the middle and as she hits it watches them slowly fall off from vibration.You would think of how this might work for a young child but so much more melodic than most of the toys they make for this age that are musical.

Impressed
I'm a musician who has been playing the guitar and ukulele for more years than I care to admit. Recently became interested in tongue drums and after some research bought the 12" Aklot. Honestly thought that anything that cost under $50 would be junk, but I was wrong. The drum is beautiful to look at and built like a tank. First thing I did was to make sure all the tongues had good tone when struck, then set about testing the tuning. Took a while to realize that the sympathetic ringing from the neighboring tongues was affecting my tuner, but once I muted the two tongues closest to the one being tested all was well and happy to report all tongues in proper tune! By the way, this model is in the key of C, 440hz standard tuning. Thanks to the decals on the tongues, its easy to see what note each tongue is. Using some simple music theory I quickly started making beautiful music. Be aware that this drum requires using the included mallets to make a good sound. My only complaint is using just your fingers is not enough to get any decent tones out of the drum and I do not care for the finger picks.The drum now sits on my coffee table in the Florida room and I play it constantly.Are there better and more expensive tongue drums available? Of course, but at this price its a steal and a wonderful introduction to this fascinating and extremely pleasing instrument. Bring some magic to your life and let this drum mesmerize you. Peace.

Special needs dream gift
My daughter has special needs (autism, cognitive disability). She is largely uninterested in gifts and tends to enjoy the bow more than opening the actual gift. This was a gift she actually engaged with! She enjoyed playing it with my help. I will mention that I do have to keep a close eye out that she does not put the stick in her mouth to chew the rubber ball. It comes off and is a serious choke hazard. So note that for young kids.This drum sounds great and is easy to play for someone non musical. I will say that a few tabs sound more "dead" than the others which really resonate a beautiful tone. If you are a musician this would be important to note. If you just want to make nice calming tones....this thing is great!

Better than what I can find at my local shop( 10" drum)
Easy to play, not too heavy on your lap but still good weight to it, finger pads are junk though. Biggest I could find at a local music store was 8 inches and over 50$. I got this 10" for 43.38 after tax from Amazon. YouTube has a lot of reviews on this one and I liked what I'd seen and heard out of this drum. Good sound for price range. I believe this one only comes in gray.
