Tongue Drum Enigma 8 Notes - Nitrided Steel, Engraved

Enigma 8-note tongue drum in nitrided steel, engraved

Nitrided steel sounds warmer and shorter than stainless steel, with more body and less brightness. The engraving is worked in by hand, which makes every drum one of a kind. Eight tongues, hand-tuned.

Nitrided steel: the warmer character

Nitriding hardens the surface in a high-temperature process and protects it against corrosion. For the sound, that means a darker root note and a focused decay. For you, it means a surface that stands up to daily playing.

Hand engraving on the body

The design is worked into the surface, not printed on, and it doesn't affect the sound. No two engravings are exactly alike.

With or without a protective bag

Add the padded bag for travel and storage. See more models in our tongue drum collection.
