So much nostalgia in these sounds... I can't even describe it

[@ancapikitty]

One of the most beautiful handpans ever!

[@greghampton3051]

Steve! I do not know how to thank you enough for the two that you built me to recover from the accident where my fingers were torn back, half my skull was removed, 57 broken bones... I have recovered greatly since then because of them and what you did for us.

[@Urmomlolol]

not only is the physical instrument beautiful, but that sound! awesome

[@alcurb]

I had never known this existed. The sound that it makes is beautiful, soothing, meditative, and the instrument in the video looks gorgeous.

[@loren8427]

So fluid, would love to buy one as my first instrument, speaks to the soul for sure! Thanks for sharing.

[@slevinlaine]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just brilliantly delightful! incredible

[@flesh740]

Fantastic design and sound !

[@KamirosPallas]

This has a beautiful sound. It's very relaxing.

[@arrayorchestra]

this one stands out visually and sonically, a work of art, nice playing

[@mosj9876]

love the sound sounds very cosmic. as if it came from another planet! calm and soothing from the heavens!

[@solstlce4278]

Quite a pretty melody. Takes you away from usual youtube drama.

[@Darkstar1282]

I could go to sleep listening to this. =)

[@Pixel1962]

Wow, that's so beautiful!

[@Fangsinurface]

That's such a beautiful drum

[@Crissys2009]

Beautiful and amazing. Thanks.

[@UpRoaryus]

OMG this is supremely awesome - I was just looking at vids of tibetan singing bowls (my mom brought me one back from her trip as a souvenir) and was reminded of steel drums through a related vid and then related to that ... and so on. And here we are ! I think I have found the instrument of my soul here - I want one of these... very much . The internet really has brought the far away that we might never have seen much closer that we might be shown so much more now

[@Reegareth]

I hope you get better. I would love to get one of these from you they are so beautiful.

[@viperhalfdragon]

it sounds so haunting, like I'm floating in an ocean of music

[@user-pf2ut9th2p]

звуковые вибрации на уровне похвалы!

[@shandizuribe]

this takes me to my safe place. under warm deep waters

[@unaluv88]

shandiz Uribe to a timeless mystical place. looming in bright mist.

[@ModdestMills]

+OneLove88 A cold mist, into calm, and harmonious snowfall, there awaiting at the top of a icy mountain.

[@shandizuribe]

Not warm like it made me feel but ok. We're all different

[@user-nf3hh8kn5r]

It makes me think of riding a giant water buffalo in ancient Southeast Asia or India and plowing through a bunch of invaders onto my rice farm

[@jesperkped]

Just be aware of the sharks there...

[@TheBitterEndMusic]

Steve, I've been looking for some hanks and steel tongue drums that would sound as I wish and yours are, in one word, incredible. I just found out that you have some health problems and I wanted to give you my best wishes and respect. Your work is magic. I don't really care so much for your instruments as I care for your happines and health. Best wishes.

[@SpikeFinch]

+David Lorenzo Adkinson Thank you for your kind words.

[@Lourdes114]

Que música más bonita y relajante!!.

Nice sound, I love also the design of your hangdrum :-)

[@bassplayer853]

very very pretty and calm sound

[@Jazzglenn]

Its soo serene...

[@MarioBastosmusicproducer]

Relaxing sound. Nice!

[@Trianglewitch.]

WOW! incredible sound, doesn't even sound like it's metal

[@eye9637isis]

Beautiful!!!

[@Su5252]

How is possible 28 people dislike this sound? Poor people...

[@nancyallin582]

Next to the Zagdrum these are my favorite. I'm sorry to hear you're not making them due to health issues. I can completely empathize with that. It's my own health issues that drew me to the Hang, and then like most, the tongue drums in the first place. But I do feel only a few really get it right, and you are DEFINITELY one of them. Should you ever make one again, by all means contact me! Good luck to you regardless. Lot's of love and healing energy. You should have someone playing for you! Take care my friend, thanks for the clips :)

[@javierlocutor]

Im a drummer, I dont know ANYTHING about notes and melody, but I sickly want one of these things... GORGEOUS SOUND!!!

[@madahikhan3352]

I could watch this for hours

[@syierarose5300]

Everything about this is beautiful

[@BrownTownShiznitBass]

they's be expensive but puttin' one them on my wish list!

[@Starsis75]

My GF is a very good violin player, i love drums ... i am drooling for this one ... you guys inspire me :D

[@APBGrrl]

Very beautiful!

[@jaggercontreras9270]

Cosmic sound, cool

[@ModernSaxDotCom]

I got the idea from people doing that with a Kalimba(thumb piano). The possibilities are endless with experimenting sound!

[@jmlandig]

it looks so cool,all that is missing is an Apple logo!

[@beautifullbutterfful]

I wish I could find this type of drum with this exact sound. Most I have seen have the metal or steel sound with each note.

[@shadeofpink1]

This is my favourite

[@EduardRitok]

sometimes it souds like a harp..amazing sound

[@SpikeFinch]

Thank you for your kind words..

[@IceTheIce]

i honestly think these zen tambour tongue drums sound wayy better than the handpan drums. the sound is smoother and doesn't have that undertone that sounds like a hand hitting a pot along with the nice sound.

[@adempamuk2221]

cokkkk hos cokk guzel bir muzik calgisi ben sevdim ilk facemde duymustum gormustum

[@SpikeFinch]

@bagpipeingman Hi there, It's called a Patina. It is done with acids and a torch. Thanks Spike

[@stillmaticz847]

i want one so bad!

[@SpikeFinch]

Congrats on your marriage! My waiting list is over a year right now., Sorry, I do not have any retails shops.

[@antonyfuentes6844]

Hey there, thanks so much I really appreciate your answer.

[@SpikeFinch]

Thank you!

[@artrobotics6828]

good, cosmic...celtic sounds

[@SpikeFinch]

Wow #58 Cool! It's a patina with a clear over it. So it's not really just paint...

[@777palena]

AMAZING!!

[@paolexxpaz]

@SpikeFinch ohhh thank you is beautyful.... amazing!

[@SpikeFinch]

The Spacedrum is a different type of drum called a "Handpan". This is a Zen Tambour, it is of the "Tongue drum" type. I do not have any on Amazon and and rarely put them on E-Bay. you can find out more at exoticvessels(dot)com/zentambour -Spike

[@ThatBoyTLong]

i need to get one of these things.

[@SpikeFinch]

Thank you for your kind words. -Spike

[@VigilanteSystems]

nice 'patina' .. really nice..

[@HrdcorPandaOnRs]

I want one!

[@babyhoney9]

Very nice only can hear

[@SpikeFinch]

Thank you -Spike

[@SpikeFinch]

I agree that would be cool!

[@SpikeFinch]

@UpRoaryus Thank you for your very kind words... that is what keep me going. Thank you! -Spike

[@olalator]

@SpikeFinch the best patina finish on the web

[@djspliterX]

bcoz u travelling with this mysterious sounds

[@mongofan1]

Incredibly beautiful work. I like the fact that you provide a variety of scales and colors. Beautiful work. How about durability? Any sense, yet, as to how fragile they are? How easy is it to knock a tongue out of tune? Yours appear to be more substantial, less fragile, at least just looking at them.

[@bjcs12]

HERMOSO♥

[@bkioshi]

Very nice man! What is the notes of this instrument?

[@Mercy_bahr]

where the hell can i get one :'( !!!! ??

[@SpikeFinch]

Hi there, Your talking about two different types of drums here. The HAPI and Zen Tambour are tongue drums. The Hang is a HandPan. They are built very differently. One is built by making "dents" in the metal, the other is built by cutting tongues in the metal. Hope this helps some. -Spike

[@PatrickLohKamp]

what is this and how do I get one?

[@LeahSutton]

MORE... please !!

[@karacnewland93]

I wanna get one

[@Lancat89]

so beautiful. Where can i get one?

[@robynvanhorn]

lovely !!!

[@SpikeFinch]

Hi there, The difference is how they are made. A Hang or handpan uses "dents" to make the notes. A Tongue drum uses "tongues" that are cut into the steel. No Tongue drum will sound like a Hang, that is just how it works. However, the scales tuned are a different story..

[@mariabucceri77]

WHERE DO YOU BUY THESE THINGS?!!

[@marielara4232]

excellent!! c'est très relaxant....

[@karacnewland93]

Where can I get one not expensive lol and what’s it called ?

[@tobyarmbrust8260]

It reminds me of Saphira's egg from Eragon.

[@SpikeFinch]

@asmithgdci Hi there, your talking about what they calling "singing the ding", No, it will not work the same way.

[@angietutistar2121]

:O magico

[@Wolf5Vlud]

Amazing, how long does it take to make one? Hard work I'm sure, but the sound coming from it is incredibly soothing and certainly strikes to me as a very intuitive instrument. Thank you for sharing.

[@MCRamseyXD]

i want one sooo bad! these drums sound amazing and have looks to match!!! i just gotta keep saving i guess...but if you could cut a learning percussionist a break spike, id have no objections :D

[@973ultima]

There is a waiting list for buy this beautiful instrument?

[@rafasotter123]

and the scales tuned,wich one sounds like the hang?could you tell me something about it?please,thanks man.

[@CalleTful]

Hello! I have a zen tambour (just got it!), and I wonder if it could take any damage if I hit it hard?

[@SpikeFinch]

@MrMarkieinger Hi there, the notes on the D3 Akebono scale (A2), D3, E3, F3, A3, A#3, D4, E4, F4, A4, A#4. Thanks -Spike

[@SpikeFinch]

@serg2528 "How does it work?" Hi there, The drum? or buying one?

[@asmithgdci]

Your instruments look and sound so nice! Can you rub your finger tip around the bass note to get sound? (like the Hang or Halo)

[@sebarcangel]

where did u buy this beautiful instrument?

[@manavpandey1175]

i want to learn this!!

[@heavymunken]

Does it easily go out of tune? How can I get one? And how do I tune it?

[@fenwickridley]

hello im making one to that size now and it should be at the same sort of level as yours BUT what was your process for such a nice finish? thanks

[@SpikeFinch]

@TenInchSmurf Hi there, You can buy them at exoticvessels(dot)com/zentambo­ur That one sold a long time ago..., I have to agree with you, The Akebono scales are one of my favorite scales too

[@SpikeFinch]

@synthead Oh yeah..... Thanks for reminding me....
