8″ Steel Tongue Drum with 11 Tones – 4 Colors

The 8-inch steel tongue drum is the balanced middle voice of the family: 11 hand-carved tongues in A major, a pitch range from E4 to A5, and — unique to this size — multiple resonance chambers inside the shell that give it a richer, fuller sound than any other drum in the line. Four speckled colorways — White (210801), Red (210802), Yellow (210803) and Green (210804) — share one hand-tuned body.

Key Specifications

Four Speckled Colorways, One Tuned Body

Every 8″ drum carries the same spot-finish — a fine speckled texture over the color that reads premium and hides fingerprints:

Multiple Resonance Chambers: The 8″ Advantage

Only the 8″ model carries this internal architecture — and it changes what the drum sounds like:

• Separate chambers behind the tongue field reinforce different partials, so each note arrives with a fuller halo of overtone instead of a thin ping
• Chords and double-strikes bloom instead of clashing — two mallets at once is where the 8″ stops sounding like a starter drum
• A major tuning (E4–A5) sits a third below the 6″’s bright C major — the same melodies, a warmer shade
• Still 11 tones with carved markings and colored-key stickers: the learning system a 3-year-old already knows transfers unchanged

Hand-Crafted Steel, Pollution-Free Finish

• Premium special steel, hand crafted by master artisans — each tongue individually cut and tuned, not stamped
• The exclusive paint process is pollution-free and does not fade — the speckle you photograph is the speckle that ships years later
• Play it three ways — mallets, finger picks or fingertips — each method producing a different surprise sound
• Round carrying case, rubber-tipped mallets and the full Musicube colored-key learning kit included

Product Highlights

Applications

Product Positioning

The 8″ is the middle voice of the Royalsound tongue-drum ladder: a third below the bright 6″ in C major, and the only size with multiple resonance chambers. Classrooms start on the 6″, expand to the 8″ for richer ensemble tone, and reach the 12″ and 14″ models for the deepest, widest ranges — same carved-note face and colored-key learning system across all four sizes, one supplier for the whole ladder.

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, with internal resonance chambers welded before finishing, then painted 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.

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 beside the center tongue, from low trial quantities.
• Colors: the four speckled 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.
