Burning27 - Spark 12" Steel Tongue Drum (G# Hijaz)

Description

The Burning27 Spark is a beautiful steel tongue drum handcrafted in a small workshop in Kyiv, Ukraine.

While lightweight and compact, the Burning27 Spark is a full-fledged instrument that delivers a wonderfully resonant sound. You’ll find yourself reaching for again and again – at home, in the studio and everywhere in between.

Featuring nine carefully hand-tuned notes and an additional central bass note rarely found on a steel tongue drum of this size, the Spark delivers a depth of sound that feels far bigger than its 12-inch frame suggests. Its intuitive layout makes it easy to create beautiful melodies from the very first note.

Whether you’re a sound healer, musician, yoga teacher or a sound enthusiast seeking a steel tongue drum for personal relaxation, the Spark is a joy to play. Warm, sweet and beautifully balanced, it’s one of the finest steel tongue drums we’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing.

The Burning27 Spark is available in two finishes and four tunings, each with its own distinct personality. Whether you’re drawn to bright and uplifting melodies, deep meditative tones or something a little more exotic, there’s a Spark for you.
