Zenko is a series of unique melodic percussion instruments that are referred to as hand pan, tongue drum or tank drum. It is the result of a long development by Metal Sounds in collaboration with leading scientists and metalworking specialists, thanks to which this instrument will offer you a very specific sound.
This instrument is made of steel, which is specially shaped and into which precisely designed reeds are cut. When you strike the mallet or your hand, the whole Zenko rings out and thanks to its construction it produces a very harmonious, round and soft sound. Great care is taken during production to ensure that the tuning is absolutely accurate and constant even over long periods of time.
This particular model is tuned to the pentatonic scale, so its fundamental notes are tuned to G3, C4, D, E, F, G, A, B and C5.
The package includes a ring-shaped pad, a padded case and a pair of mallets.
