What if the instrument out of tune?
First of all, the steel tongue drum is a non-xed
instrument, it is a normal phenomenon that
the test range of sound, generally positive or
negative 10 points.
The steel tongue drum can be adjusted by
ne-tuning: Pitch down by pressing the
tongue for overtone, or by using a le with
grinding (g. A) to le it down at the root of
the tongue, and the tone will be lowered;
If it is low tone, please top up the tongue from

What is the correct method for testing
intonation?
Steel tongue drum testing method must be
accurate to test the true accuracy. Above all,
the drum is to be attened. You cannot measure
intonation on an uneven surface. Secondly, to
measure the tone of the target tongue, one
should press on the other tongues (g. B),
and then point the target tongue to face the
tuner (g. C). If not, there will be 1-2HZ test
errors. After knocking the head position of the
tongue several times in a row when aiming the
tuner, remember several times of continuous
percussion, the tuner will appear a beating
range (the steel tongue drum can only test
the sound range value), this range is the
intonation of the target test tongue tone.
