Tongue Drum
Project by
Cristiana Felgueiras
General Information
One of the most exciting and fun projects I've built to date! This turned out to be a great musical instrument and with some patience during the tuning process, I'm sure you can achieve just as beautiful sounding instrument as I did. Let's play!

What was the tuning program you used on the Macintosh?
Chris Goodman, Sr.
Hi Chris, I used the tuner that comes with GarageBand. Now I’m not near the mac but I think it is under Window menu at the top. It opens as a pop up and as long as the built in mic is on, it works.

Easel shows it being 10 by 4. What is the actual size?
garrett effley
Hi Garrett, the top is 59 x 20 cm. You can set Easel to show MM instead of IN if you prefer.

This is beuatiful! Really High quality craftsmanship! I want to make one and love the size in the video. Can you tell us the overall dimensions? (L x W x H).

Did you cut a hole in the side of the box? I can't tell from the video.

I've noticed that there are only ten tongues. Do you know of a version that has twelve tongues (full chromatic scale in major or minor key) or an alternative . Thanks. BTW It sounds great. Love to hear it with a Fishmans piezo pickup stuck inside. WcW

what is the height of the box? and is there a sound hole? if so what diameter would that be? i assume all of those factors would effect the tone
