I purchased 5 returnable steel tongue drums from you-know-where, in order to choose my instrument as a beginner. I do have a musical ear and didn't want to get stuck with an off-tune instrument (I know one coud tune them, but then you can't return them). I don't think any of them is awfully off-tune, although the wavy sustained overtones from the Aklot hints me that something is off. The 2 Kudout have weaker higher notes. Spoiler alert - the Lomuty sounded the roundest and the most in tune to me, I'll have to learn to live with this weak high E.
I only used the mallet because not much comes out of either instrument when I play with my fingers. I hope this helps someone.
