@@rootrhythmoh you’re welcome !!

The type of tongue drum I am using in this video is called a Kosmosky Steel Tongue Drum. To learn more about this drum, visit en.kosmosky.com/. Use the the promo code "ROOTRHYTHM" for a 5% discount on tongue drum purchases from their site : ) This scale is in B-minor.

I personally prefer playing tongue drums in minor scales for more ambient/soothing sounds due to their naturally meditative acoustics and the depth and dimension to how these scales flow. I really love B-minor, but if another minor scale calls to you, then you really can't go wrong with a pentatonic scale.

thank you!

Thank you so much!!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Not to worry, I have videos in the works coming out soon!

That's wonderful to hear that you already have a couple of tongue drums and are considering expanding your collection. It's inspiring how you're exploring the therapeutic potential of these instruments, especially for managing conditions like complex PTSD. Music, particularly through instruments like the tongue drum, has a unique ability to create a soothing and grounding effect.

@@rootrhythm I play so many instruments. Anything from the piano, the singing bowls, the kalimba, wind chimes, tongue drums, and even singing voice. I also think it can be great for autistic meltdowns, and even as a form of communication. Music is such a great way to regulate the state of mind, and get you back in your body.

You're welcome 😊

So happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment. Happy to hear this video was helpful : )

So happy to hear you're drawn to the soothing sounds of tongue drums for meditative practices, and I think it's a great idea to explore creating your own ambient music with one of these instruments. So cool! When considering purchasing a tongue drum, particularly those under $100 on Amazon, it's important to keep in mind that lower-priced options may vary in quality compared to higher-end models. While these budget-friendly drums can be a good starting point for beginners, they may have limitations in terms of craftsmanship, sound quality, and durability. Here are a few things that might be helpful in making the best decision: #1 Sound Quality: Cheaper tongue drums might have a more limited tonal range or less resonance compared to higher-quality instruments. This can affect the depth and richness of the sounds you produce. #2 Durability: Build quality is another factor to consider. Lower-priced drums may be made from thinner materials that could affect their longevity and robustness. #3 Playability: The ease of playing and responsiveness of the instrument can vary. Higher-quality drums often have smoother surfaces and better tuning, making them more enjoyable to play. Since you have some musical background, you might appreciate a drum that offers good tuning and responsiveness. If possible, read reviews and listen to demos to get a sense of what to expect from different models within your budget range. Also, consider checking out local music stores where you can try out different tongue drums in person to see what feels right for you. Not all music stores carry tongue drums, so I'd just call and ask to make sure. Hope this helps and Happy Tongue Drumming : )

Hi Annette. It's great to hear from a fellow Dvutone player! You have a keen ear - yes, the sound of the instrument was indeed adjusted for the video. The scale is still in B-Minor, just in a lower octave. Kosmosky tuned this one to A440 Hz and I changed it to bring all of the notes into a lower frequency range for a particular effect. The sound may give off a lower pitch sound, but the actual notes are still the same : ) The reason for manipulating the sound is often related to the therapeutic benefits of specific frequencies. In this case, lowering the frequency to the 200Hz range (which is what I did for this song) gives a more calming and grounding effect for me personally. Many practitioners of sound therapy and meditation find that these frequencies help induce a deeper sense of relaxation and focus. There is definitely a range of personal preferences for how pitches and frequencies resonate within the body. I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the unchanged, brighter sound of your instrument for its serene and meditative qualities. Each tone and its variations can evoke different feelings and responses in listeners. The beauty of these instruments lies in their versatility and the personal connections we form with their unique sounds. Feel free to explore different tones and techniques with your Dvutone - there's so much potential for creativity and expression! If you have any more questions or insights to share about playing this wonderful instrument, I'd love to hear them. Appreciate the listen and the comment : ) ~Alex Ray

@@rootrhythm Thank you very much for your very detailed answer! Now I can understand why you changed the sound of the Dvutone. Yes, the Dvutone offers so many different possibilities of playing and sounds, and so everyone can find out what is most beneficial and enjoyable for them! I, for example, like to bathe in chordal sounds, dissonances and consonances, which I usually play rather gently with my fingers.

@@Annette19598 Wow! That sounds beautiful and very soothing : )

Thanks for listening
