NEW INSTRUMENT?! 15 keys D tone STEEL TONGUE DRUM unboxing and review with sound test

Hello my dear kalimbuddies!
here is something quite different from our usual kalimba contents.
I have been fascinated with the 15 keys 13 inches steel tongue drum for quite sometime now, and to be honest, i am so loving it!
(this video has been long overdue, would you believe that i got this last MAY 2020? haha!)
i have decided to share this with all of you since there are some of you who are interested in it.
tell me what you think :D
(SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO MY DEAR KAPATID, RYANNE of @Witty Birds Kalimba for helping me in choosing the color of my very first tank drum! u da best kapatid! )
love,
Robin "Tips"
by the way!
this tongue drum is tuned to the key of D .
DISCLAIMER:
I am a total newbie to the tongue drum, so the things i have shared are based on my subjective and personal understanding of the instrument. If you want to know the deeper aspects of the instrument, feel free to do your own research on it.
I also want to mention that after all the placement of subtitles and contents, i have uploaded the wrong video which contains the close-up of each item mentioned, so thank you for your patience on this.
HERE is a link to the platform from where i got my tongue drum.
invol.co/cl2hgzm
(the original seller that i got it from unlisted the item, but i saw this one that is identical to it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you message the seller asking for the actual photo of the drum. to be sure that it has 15 keys. :) )

[@A-432-Zone]

Hello, this is the voice of The A-432 Zone. I wanted to inform viewers that there is a new model out now int 2024 by PandaDrum which has one extra note, and is also tuned to A-432 Scientific Tuning. For those wishing to meditate, jamn, or record in A432Hz, this is the only Hang-drum that I know of that is pitched to A432Hz. I just ordered mine in golden-yellow! I will be using it here in my documentaries for quick pitch-references. It costed me around $240. I'm so excited!

[@alilynison6574]

😍😍😍😮😮😮 Wowww! New beautiful instrument. Great job.
