This is the third tongue drum I buy (after a 12'of 11 rather correct notes but quickly limited, then a 12'of 13 notes with unfortunately disappointing sound because the neighboring languages enter too easily into resonance), And it is a priori of the quality I expected. The sound is ample even when playing by hand, full of roundness without being deafened. the treble is less fleshy, but well present and precise. The notes are distinct, without an undesirable echo vibration effect. The access to the interior is satisfactory for manual adjustments (I wear size 9 gloves). The metal coating appears to be of good quality and the lateral braid is pleasant for handling. The carrying bag is quite qualitative: of a beige-grey rather neutral without being dull and adorned with a small elegant logo, its padding is firm and its seams seem durable, as well as its zipper, which slides without difficulty. The small booklet provided is in English and includes, in addition to some maintenance tips, some short scores which have the advantage of displaying both the classical staves and the encrypted notations, whose rhythm I may have had difficulty determining without their more traditional equivalents in other booklets: This little Rosetta stone is therefore welcome. The small accessories indicated (rings, bells, sticks, spare stickers) are well present. Product ordered on 27/04 (CZ), received on 30/04 in Brittany, impeccably packed. In short: I am very satisfied. I add that I rarely write reviews, and never to get points (which I don't care about more than that), but only to inform other customers when the product is worth it, being myself attentive to the opinions before buying.

C'est le troisième tongue drum que j'achète (après un 12' de 11 notes assez correct mais vite limité, puis un 12' de 13 notes au son malheureusement décevant car les langues voisines entrent trop facilement en résonance), et il est a priori de la qualité que j'attendais. Le son est ample même en jouant à la main, plein de rondeur sans être assourdi. Les aigus sont moins charnus, mais bien présents et précis. Les notes sont distinctes, sans effet de vibration en écho indésirable. L'accès à l'intérieur est satisfaisant pour effectuer les réglages manuels (je mets des gants de taille 9). Le revêtement du métal semble de bonne qualité et la tresse latérale est agréable pour la manipulation. Le sac de transport est assez qualitatif : d'un beige-gris assez neutre sans être terne et orné d'un petit logo élégant, son rembourrage est ferme et ses coutures semblent durables, tout comme sa fermeture éclair, qui glisse sans difficulté. Le petit fascicule fourni est en anglais et comporte, outre quelques conseils d'entretien, quelques courtes partitions qui ont l'avantage d'afficher à la fois les portées classiques et les notations chiffrées, dont j'avais pu avoir du mal à déterminer le rythme sans leurs équivalents plus traditionnels dans d'autres livrets : cette petite pierre de Rosette est donc la bienvenue. Les petits accessoires indiqués (bagues, mailloches, baguettes, autocollants de rechange) sont bien présents. Produit commandé le 27/04 (CZ), reçu le 30/04 en Bretagne, impeccablement emballé. En bref : je suis très satisfait. J'ajoute que j'écris rarement des critiques, et jamais pour avoir des points (dont je ne me soucie pas plus que ça), mais seulement pour informer les autres clients lorsque le produit en vaut la peine, étant moi-même attentif aux avis avant d'acheter.
