Four Colorways, One Voice
The 6″ body is hand-tuned once — the color is the only thing a buyer chooses:
| 210604 · Light Green | The signature pastel — the catalog cover colorway, made for bright nurseries and gift shelves |
| 210602 · Red | The rose-red statement — warm and photogenic in lifestyle sets |
| 210603 · Yellow | The sunshine option — the gold Musicube heart mark sits naturally on it |
| 210605 · Blackish Green | The deep forest tone — reads mature, popular with meditation and yoga buyers |
The Heart of the Scale: G4 to C6
The 11-tone C major layout is why beginners sound musical from minute one:
- No wrong notes: the full C major scale from G4 to C6 means every nursery rhyme and pop melody in the colored songbook plays without transposition
- The carved note markings and the colored key stickers work together — a three-year-old follows color, a seven-year-old follows letters, the same drum serves both
- The central heart tongue holds the tonic (5) — the visual anchor that teaches scale position before any theory
- Higher and brighter than the 8″, 12″ and 14″ models in the family, the 6″ cuts sweetly over classroom chatter
Hand-Crafted Steel, Pollution-Free Finish
- Premium special steel, hand crafted by master artisans — each tongue is individually cut and tuned, not stamped
- The exclusive paint process is pollution-free and does not fade — the color you photograph is the color that ships years later
- Circular air vibration gives the long, ethereal sustain tongue drums are loved for — play it with mallets, finger picks or fingertips, three voices from one drum
- Rubber-tipped plastic mallets included; the brown velvet drawstring case carries the set to school, studio or picnic

Product Positioning
The 6″ is the bright top of the Royalsound tongue-drum ladder: it sings an octave above the 12″ and 14″ models, making it the natural first drum for age 3+. Collectors and classrooms step down in pitch through the family — same heart-patterned face, same colored-key learning system, same factory hand-tuning — so one supplier covers the whole ethereal range.
It shares the production line, tuning bench and certification process with our own consumer brand Musicube — the same instrument that is already selling on the US retail market under the Musicube name.
Quality & Manufacturing
Each drum is cut and hand-tuned from premium special steel by master artisans, then finished with pollution-free fade-proof paint. Batch-level EN 71 and ASTM F963 reports are available for every shipment, issued under your brand name. Every drum is pitch-checked tone by tone before packing.

And the paperwork your import process will need — real reports, not templates:

OEM / ODM: Make It Yours
Once the instrument is proven, the next question is how it starts carrying your brand:
- Logo: gold or silver imprint on the center heart, from low trial quantities.
- Colors: the four current colorways are the standard set — volume orders can develop custom Pantone finishes on the same tuned body.
- Songbook: your brand and your own song selection on the colored-key songbook.
- Packaging: the brown box takes a full-color sleeve, or we quote a full-color gift box from volume.
- Certification: EN 71 and ASTM F963 reports issued under your brand name.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a three-year-old really play it?
A: Yes — that is the design intent. The 160 mm body sits on a small lap, the C major layout has no wrong notes, and the colored-key songbook lets pre-readers follow color before letters. Mallets for toddlers, finger picks as coordination develops, fingertips for expression.
Q: How does the 6″ differ from the larger tongue drums?
A: Pitch and voice. The 6″ plays G4–C6 — the brightest, highest range of the family, like a music box. The 8″ sits in A major (E4–A5), the 12″ reaches G3–E5, and the 14″ titanium model spans F#3–F#5 with 15 tones. Same heart-pattern face and learning system across all four.
Q: Can it be retuned?
A: The drum ships tuned to C major fundamental and is adjustable within a small range by a qualified technician. For a different factory key, the 8″ (A major) and 14″ (G major) models cover alternate tonal centers out of the box.
Q: What is the MOQ for OEM orders?
A: MOQ and carton configuration depend on your customization level and destination market — they are confirmed on your quotation rather than a fixed published number. Send your quantity and target market for a costed proposal within 24 hours.
