You can play it with your fingers or with sticks, making it flexible for different players and settings. The tongues are numbered by note, so working out melodies is straightforward whether you read music or not. At 90mm tall and 150mm across, it sits comfortably on a lap or a table, and it weighs just 570g so it travels easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eight notes are tuned to a major scale, which keeps things sounding pleasant even when you play at random. This makes the drum a good fit for beginners and for group work where not everyone has musical training. It suits educational use, meditation sessions and therapy settings, where the round, mellow tone helps set a calm mood. The steel body gives a warm ring that fades gently rather than cutting off sharply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything you need to get started comes in the box. You get a pair of playing sticks, along with thimbles for playing by hand, plus a drawstring bag for storage and carrying. A beginner's guide is included to help you find your way around the notes and try some simple tunes. Because the tongues are marked by number, you can follow along with written note sequences straight away. It is a self-contained little instrument that asks for no setup and no extra kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNotes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 tuned tongues (major scale)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90mm x 150mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.57KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many notes does the TD6-BZ have?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has eight tuned tongues, arranged in a major scale so the notes work well together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I play it with my hands or do I need sticks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth.
