Making and tuning a perfect sounding 2 octaves Wooden Tongue Drum (by a musician & for musicians).

Here is how I made my Tongue Drum. I am not a professional woodworker, I do have some basic skills and tools but you don’t have to be a carpenter to make this. The range is D3-C5, almost two octaves. It is diatonic, and tuned in C major scale. The board is padouk, 18mm thick, 220mm x 350mm. The frame is ashwood, 160mm high, 18mm thick. I created my own design, you can create your own too without fear. The shape isn’t really important, you can adjust everything with an accurate tuning process. Tools needed : a jigsaw with a narrow blade a good plane a gouge & a wood chisel a router a drill a miter saw (mine is not large enough so I had to use my ribbon saw) some clamps, straps, and wood glue The woodwork isn’t perfect but the sound is as good as expected ( I’m a professional musician ). I have also built a bass tongue drum, an octave lower but only 7 notes, you will see it at the end of the video. Here is a better sounding
