At present, there are many tongue drum products claiming to be made of carbon steel, but the quality varies.
How to distinguish and avoid buying inferior products?
Ok, leave it to me
The first is the material.
There are two kinds of ethereal drums: one is made of carbon steel and the other is made of iron.
So, how do you tell?
The easiest and most scientific method is to use magnets, so there is no need to say more about the operation, right?
Iron: hold firmly
Carbon steel material: smooth rolling
The second is to listen to the tone.
Let's listen to the difference between carbon steel and iron.
The tone of carbon steel material is very pleasant and melodious...
There is a feeling of being in the bamboo forest, sitting cross-legged and sipping tea.
Iron is very bad
There is noise, the ending is very long
It made me feel dizzy.
The carbon steel ethereal drums on the market are high-end musical instruments, all priced at more than US$160.
Remind every fan of ethereal drums, you must identify them carefully before buying.
Don't buy cheap carbon steel ethereal drums.

HLURU Professional Performance D Major & C Major Titanium Steel 14 Inch 15 Note Tongue Drum For Sale I love the steel tongue drum I bought from Hluru it turns out so does my mum! It makes such a beautiful sound and is so good for the mind. They have great customer service and I would highly recommend their products.
We are very happy to see that you and your mother like our products. We have had good communication and it is a very happy service for us.

I am new to the tongue drum and have really enjoyed the quality sound and craftsmanship of this drum.
Hello, I am very happy to see that you like our 14-inch 9-note steel tongue drum, and thank you for your five-star praise.
It is very easy to learn to play the steel tongue drum. As long as you keep learning, you will master it soon. :)
After loving the 17 snare Lyre I decided to get the 31 snare version too. My first Kalyre was bought at a music store and I got this one directly through Hluru. I paid for fast shipping. That turned out to be not so fast(but may be the mail services fault, can’t check that). This model is quite heavy to hold. If that is an issue I can recommend to use a ukelele stand, which it fits perfectly and also gives you a good angle to play(see image). I have taken off one star, because the Kalyre arrived with completely overtuned snares; two snares immediately broke when I touched them. All of the snares were tuned at least 4 notes higher than their assigned notes. Please check this if you buy one too. Only one spare snare is shipped with the product, so I had to us another spare one from my other Lyre. I loosened all snares and then retuned the whole instrument. Now it is perfect and it holds it’s tuning very well and quick, compared to other snare instruments. This design is brillianty done and because of the chromatic tuning it will let you play a broad spectrum of music. So; big recommendation from me, but calculate some extra days for shipping and unpack extra careful, immediately check the tuning and give the snares some slack, if overtuned. Maybe Hluru can offer sets of spare snares or add a few more. I could not find them in your webstore.
Thank you very much for your detailed evaluation.
Regarding the issues you mentioned, we will feedback to our factory, thank you again.
At the same time, thank you very much for your positive evaluation to us, your evaluation is very valuable for our customers.
I like my new drum! The scale is large enough to play a song but small enough for beginners like me. I really love the case it comes with too. It sounds different than I thought it would. Maybe the higher grade drums have a richer tone? I noticed that the low B on this drum vibrates a lot and it's a bit hard to hear the tone. I am very happy overall and if I want another tongue drum, I will be purchasing from you again in the future. Thankyou!
