Zenko Akebono Tongue Drum

The Zenko is a stainless-steel tongue drum (also called a “tank” drum or “hank”) designed and created by Metal Sounds in France. The drum can be played by both beginners and experienced musicians alike. The Akebono scale is a C minor pentatonic scale. A G3 in the center gives a deep bass that can be used as a pivot.
