The feeltone Tinka Tong Alto is the smallest wooden Tongue Drum on the market. However, the fine work that goes into it is not much less than that of a drum three times its size or a metal Tongue Drum. The tuning has to be just as precisely and the shape and surface wants to be a pleasure to hold. The materials are made out of the same high quality woods as their big siblings. We strive to use these precious woods, which the trees provide us with, as completely as possible.

How to play

The pentatonically tuned 6 notes are intuitively arranged so that a kind of random pattern/random melody is created during rhythmic playing. Playing patterns that please are repeated, from time to time a note breaks out and new sound fantasies are explored.

The small Tongue Drums speak the language of the forest and the trees. They convince by their cheerfulness, handiness and clarity. With the Tinka Tongs we have given the Tongue Drum a new joy of playing, lightness and mobility. Almost all playing, melody and rhythm techniques can be played with the Tinka Tongs. With the Tinka Tongs I, Ingo Böhme (Feeltone), have fulfilled my wish for Tongue Drums that sound softly and gently with instruments such as kalimba, spacedrum or flutes at eye level and are rather struck with the fingers.

Finest feeltone craftsmanship made of high quality materials, lovingly manufactured from plank to tuning in the northeast of Germany by the beautiful Baltic Sea and shipped all over the world.
