Cork
A soft and removable cap is clipped under the instrument, this cap allows for a better sound experience, it also ensures good vibration of the instrument when placed on a hard surface.
It is possible to remove the cap to be able to move the small magnets placed on the notes in order to retune them if necessary.
In the case of a sound massage, with the instrument placed on the patient's stomach it is also preferable to remove the cap to better feel the vibrations, it is also more comfortable.
Mallets
A pair of mallets made by us is offered with the instrument. The mallets are made from chenille wool, they are both rigid for good resonance and very soft to avoid the sound of impact.
Avoid rubber or plastic mallets, the impact is very present and degrades the quality of the sound experience.
You can also play with your hands! A little training is necessary but it allows more possibilities as well as better vibration control!
Manual
A small user manual is delivered with the instrument, the location of the notes, the tuning technique as well as some advice are detailed there.

Optional: Piezo Microphone
A piezo microphone can be installed to amplify your instrument, use effects or make recordings. The microphone is glued with epoxy and covered with a thin layer of varnish for its longevity. This passive microphone is the same as those used in basses or electric guitars, it generates a low sound signal and must be used correctly to work well. A guitar or bass amp, or even a sound card is essential to achieve a correct result.
The advantage of this microphone is that it picks up the vibrations of the instrument, so it is not disturbed by the surrounding sound. It adds a lot of character to the impact sound on the instrument, new possibilities open up to you and adds a percussive character to the Tongue drum, by tapping on the side of the instrument for example.
