I couldn't make heads or tails of the tuning method. Then I figured out they go from left to right from left to right. Uhg... Had to number the tongues on the instructions then write with pencil which ones to tune. I don't know maybe a hint that they are going this route in the instructions would help. You're left to your own devices in that matter. Basically it's a you figure it out method. 4 stars for crummy tuning instructions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You can definitely hear the difference *by B***4 on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020* The Idiopan and the Hapi drum are both nice drums. I own both and have bought another cheaper drum that has 11 notes and came with finger picks. There is problem with that one and I would assume it extends across all the cheaper models that have basically the same shape and steel quality. You don't notice it unless you have listened to one of the above. When you sound a note there is resonance throughout the drum. On the cheaper ones that resonance quickly causes the tone to get muddier with every note you add. The cheaper one I own also has 11 notes but you have to silence it with your hand to really enjoy all of them because the more tones you add the muddier the tone.The highest note on that one induces so much resonance it can almost not be heard standing out. Both the Idiopan and the Hapi drum have clear ringing tones that sound more like a good wind chime, while the cheaper drums I've tried and owned sound more like a Jamaican steel drum. I managed to make one of the cheaper ones sound a bit better by adding a row of rubber weather stripping around the middle (similar to the Idiopan) to control at least some of the resonance.I also found the rubber finger picks that came with the cheaper drum to be useless on all the drums. The reason for using them would be speed and the ability to play multiple tones at once. However the effect is deadening. I would imagine with some practice you might be able to "Pop" multiple keys but any moments hesitation on a tongue kills the sound. Most humans aren't that fast. Also striking the same key twice with the finger picks kills the original sound. that does not happen with the mallets. None of these drums really respond to hand playing with the kind of clear tone they are capable of.I didn't get the pickup as I felt that I would need a stereo amp to really enjoy it, so I can't comment on that aspect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read before purchase *by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2017* This is a tough rating. These pans are pricy and this 6" one is small. At this size it is not a "hand" drum. You have to use the mallets. But the quality is wonderful and the tunability is fantastic. If you have the money/credit, get the 14 inch. But if you are tight on cash and aren't gonna make a daily play on it. Just a mess around. This one is great. I have both 14 and 6". And really do love them both. I had no problems with either of them. Magnets are strong. They keep in scale. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/56039715-idiopan-domina-12-inch-tunable-steel-tongue-drum-ruby-red](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/56039715-idiopan-domina-12-inch-tunable-steel-tongue-drum-ruby-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
