The Feeltone Baba Tong 10-Note in F Minor is a uniquely crafted wooden tongue drum that beautifully bridges the gap between rhythmic percussion and melodic exploration. Built by master artisans in Germany’s Baltic region, this instrument reflects deep reverence for both the musical potential of wood and the natural world from which it comes. With its two distinct playing surfaces — one tuned for deep, resonant bass and the other for expressive finger drumming — it invites players into a fluid, intuitive musical experience. Whether you're a frame drummer, finger percussionist, or simply someone drawn to meditative, earthy tones, the Baba Tong opens up a soundscape that is both grounding and ethereal.

Tuned to a 10-note F minor pentatonic scale, the Baba Tong offers a versatile tonal palette that works well across genres like world music, ambient, sound healing, meditative practice, or improvisational performance. Its design encourages experimentation — play with your fingers, with included mallets, or a combination of both. The thoughtful layout of the leaf-shaped tongues obscures the scale just enough to invite playful intuition, while still maintaining harmonic coherence. You can let the notes flow randomly or repeat patterns to create grooves, textures, and melodies that evolve organically. The sound is soft, resonant, and woody — perfect for solo sessions or blending with kalimbas, flutes, handpans, or spacedrums.

Crafted from Padouk and Cherry woods, and finished with a biologically treated hard wax oil, the Baba Tong is as visually captivating as it is sonically rich. It’s lightweight and portable, but with the build quality of a fine acoustic instrument. Whether you’re using it in music therapy, education, studio recording, or personal practice, the Baba Tong stands out as a beautiful, tactile, and soulful instrument that rewards imagination and touch. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
