The \u003cstrong\u003eMeinl Sonic Energy\u003c\/strong\u003e series targets relaxation, music therapy, and ambient creation. The \"Octave\" version stands out with its double-lamella tongues, positioning this instrument as an expressive and versatile model within the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for beginners seeking an intuitive, factory-tuned instrument, it will also delight wellness practitioners (yoga, meditation, sound baths), teachers, and composers of ambient, world, or pop music. Its nuanced response suits intermediates as well as experts looking for organic textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach tongue is cut into \u003cstrong\u003etwo lamellae\u003c\/strong\u003e that trigger the same note across two octaves, creating harmonic thickness and clarity. The \u003cstrong\u003esound hole\u003c\/strong\u003e at the bottom of the shell can be closed with a \u003cstrong\u003esilicone plug\u003c\/strong\u003e for a more compact sound. Three \u003cstrong\u003esilicone feet\u003c\/strong\u003e provide stability and isolation. The set comes with a \u003cstrong\u003edurable carrying case\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erubber-headed mallets\u003c\/strong\u003e for immediate playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel produces a clear, full, and enveloping sound, with generous sustain and airy harmonics. The central low D3 anchors the playing while the octave tongues add a subtle \"choral\" effect that is very inspiring. When played with mallets, the attack is round and projected\u0026#59; with fingers, the dynamics are intimate and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eD major scale\u003c\/strong\u003e favors bright and soothing atmospheres. Closing the hole with the silicone plug focuses the timbre and shortens the resonance, which is practical for indoor or ensemble playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of blades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e9\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eLarge\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ehandheld\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003etongue drums\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esteel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSticks, Cover\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequencies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e440 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTextured\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e40.6 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-tuned scale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eD major\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e1 central low note + 8 octave tongues\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eD3 (low), A3, Bb3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003estainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ela garantie ne couvre pas le désaccordage de l\u0026#039;instrument\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sonic Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360861409555,"sku":"368283","price":369.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/c71aaee2131f0e76cefee146f9e48281809e9051_OSTD1BK.jpg?v=1787399134","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sonic-energy-sonic-energy-octave-steel-tongue-drum-black-d-kurd-368283","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
