[@AnnaCastiglionedrumsforlife]

this helped me sooooo much!!! truly appreciate it !!!

[@LellsonW]

Great tutorial! Helped me a lot!

[@idiopan]

Thanks! We'll also have an extended magnet pack scale video some time later this summer.

[@LellsonW]

Idiopan Steel Tongue Drums Nice. Sadly I forgot to add the extended magnet pack to my order and shipping is very expensive to my country... I'll probably still buy one someday.

[@Zampan0]

Thank you very much. I have the same idiopan, and the only problem I have - other than tuning it - is I need to use the mallets because even with having bought the hard plastic fingertips it won't sound much at all when I try finger tapping. That's ok though, because using the mallets makes a beautiful sound.

Awesom demo, thank you soooo much!

[@Clown321321]

What is the app on the phone?

[@dmknoles]

May I inquire as to what app your using on your phone to tune your idiopan please?

[@idiopan]

I am not sure what this exact app is called but there is another free one called Pano Tuner that works great as well! ☺️

[@nan_sound]

wow! thanks

[@idiopan]

Anytime

[@raimondsgraudins7876]

Is it possible to tune it to an ordinary major or minor scale? For which scales would it work the best?

[@tunekat8]

What size is this idiopan and which model? Also the drums delivered for A440 or A432 Hz?

[@tunekat8]

Just noticed this is the domina ... Missed that initially. Thanks.

[@idiopan]

Yes it is a Domina. The drum arrives in A440 but can be tuned to A432!

[@dylanschweitzer18]

what kind of marker were you using?a chalk marker? Is it safe to leave on for longer periods of time?

[@idiopan]

www.mid-east.com/Drums/Idiopan-Accessories/Liquid-Chalk-Dry-Erase-Marker-White www.mid-east.com/Drums/Idiopan-Accessories/Liquid-Chalk-Dry-Erase-Marker-Black Here are links to get them! For some reason they aren't appearing on our website at the moment, but our overseeing company Mid-East Mfg. has them available on theirs. It is safe to leave for extended periods of time! If you have any trouble wiping it off with a soft or microfiber cloth, a little bit of isopropyl alcohol will do the trick without harming the finish!

[@nicolebenedicto6442]

when I tune the note, extra noise and vibration are heard, in addition to the note, sound disturbances what does that mean?

[@tonyhill2905]

Other tongues are vibrating at the same time as the one you are tuning. This is normal drum behaviour. You can stop this from happening by muting the others with your palm. Do this with each tongue you are tuning so that they are the only ones you hear. It is the nature of the instrument that other notes will resonate along with the ones you are playing. Also, make sure the magnet is centered on the underside of the tongue for the best outcome.

[@idiopan]

Thanks for the detailed response Tony :)

[@sreelal4]

May I know the mobile application you are using for tuning?

[@idiopandrums]

I'm sorry I don't know which app was used in the video. But any of the free guitar tuner apps will work. Thanks!

[@sreelal4]

@@idiopandrums ok.. thank you.

[@sidneiribeiro3883]

Magnets do not scratch the surface ?

[@idiopan]

Hey Sidnei, the magnets do not scratch the surface

[@maricruz3269]

What tuner app do you use?

[@dmisk2010]

Boss guitar tuner is a good one , tells you if your sharp or flat

[@idiopan]

PanoTuner is free!

[@eriksotillosuarez2889]

How many notes can get a single tonge?

[@idiopan]

Each tongue can be tuned down to 5 notes with the extended magnet pack.
