          Description

          Deep, mystical, mellow – that’s what we say when talking about the A Integral RAV Vast. Playing it is like opening the door to a whimsical secret world, and the key is the A Integral.

          It’s a great scale for pros as it is challenging as soon as changing the root note provides an opportunity to choose between major and minor key. 6 out of 9 notes of the A Integral are tuned in 3rd octave, while the Ding is tuned in A2 and 2 upper notes tuned in 4th octave.

          The experienced drummers and handpan players will love this scale for its relaxing sound. It’s a godsend for those who are looking for an accompaniment for meditation sessions. This drum is perfect for sound-healing, music therapy and yoga due to its deep enigmatic sound and incredibly long sustain which is longer than in the other RAV Vasts.

          It matches well the D Major, C Golden Gate, D Celtic Minor RAV Vasts. If you want to immerse the listeners in a really deep sound, play in duet with the E Low Pygmy.




          The A Integral is an enigmatic scale with very special energetic vibration. It has dark melodic sound and provides an esoteric mood.

          What makes it different from the other RAV Vasts? This scale has meditative and watery kind of sound. The A Integral refers to Native American culture and reminds of a lonely horseman crossing a deserted prairie.

          This is also a very special scale from the technical point of view. You can easily change between the minor and major key depending on which note you use as a root one. If you involve the Ding in playing, you get more meditative melodies. If you choose the bottom C3 note, you can get a C Major sound.

          The integral scale is common across the steel tongue and hand drum creators. It’s deep and very meditative.

          What makes the A Integral by RAV Vast different from others? RAV Vast is actually an innovative musical instrument as it fuses the concept of handpan (a steel drum) and tongue drum (which is usually made of wood). The perfectly shaped steel tongues play in harmony to create an ethereal sound perfect for meditation and composing music. You get an instrument that can rival the sound of handpan for 1/3 of the handpan average price (and do it easily online in just two steps).

          The secret of RAV Vast is in the special steel that is used to create a unique sound. The RAV Vast A Integral is made out of the steel of 1.5 mm comparing to usual 2 mm thickness of the other RAV Vasts. The thinner shell provides incredible sound depth and longevity. This is also one of the lightest drums among the whole RAV Vast collection (the weight of the A Integral is 4.9 kg only, while the average RAV Vast weight is 5.9 kg).

          For whom this scale will work

          This scale will instantly become one of the favourites in the collection of an advanced musician. If you are already familiar with playing the tongue drum or any other hand drum, you’ll love the A Integral for the challenge it will be for you and for the opportunities it will provide. This scale may be a little bit tricky to deal with due to the semitones. It’s not the easiest scale among the other RAV Vasts, however with just a little practice there’s nothing hard to acquire the A Integral and come up with songs on it.

          This scale will work perfectly for slow meditative type of playing. The A integral is the first instrument to choose for meditation, relaxation, and other mystical music experiences. If you have already practiced meditation or wish to begin, A Integral will be a great support (or even a motivation to start). Still it’s also great for playing along the pop songs and minor sounding alternative rock that have darker feel to them.

          You can definitely play a perfect solo using the A integral, however this scale is really friendly to be accompanied with other instruments. It matches perfectly many RAV Vasts especially the E Low Pygmy, C Golden Gate, D Major (this scale actually matches almost any RAV Vast) and the D Celtic Minor (keep in mind these two have different sustain).

          As for the other instruments, you will find the A Integral creating a good duet with guitar and violin. Violins are tuned GDAE, so a violinist would be able to match the scale perfectly as he will find the same notes in the A Integral. For those interested in accompaniment with guitar players, the A Integral scale offers a great bunch of chordal combinations, as it contains the notes ABCEFG , which is close to the natural minor. The song that uses A minor typically has a pensive and mysterious feeling. When you use the bottom note (the C) as the anchoring note, you can play it in C major scale. It’s an excellent choice for players who are looking for a unique scale with both a major and minor feel inside!

          If you want to experiment with some ethnic instruments, the A Integral scale also works really well with Native American-style Flute as this scale belongs to American music culture.

          It is one of the most melancholic scales RAV offers. If this mood stands out to you, lay doubts to rest and choose the A Integral RAV Vast.

          J'ai trois RAV Vasts: B RUS, A Integral et G Pygmy.

          Le A Integral est celui qui offre le plus de facilités à créer des mélodies et à plaquer des accords.
          Il est aussi celui qui permet d'isoler le plus aisément les harmoniques.

          Le G Pygmy est mon préféré pour ce qui est de la profondeur du son, chaud et très harmonieux.
          Les harmoniques sont un peu plus difficiles à isoler.

          La gamme du B RUS est intéressante, mais il a un son plus "sec": c'est un RAV Vast 2, à l'acier plus épais, et cela se sent.

          This Rav drum is like a small minimalistic challenge. Though, I have the freedom to choose and create. I can make music sound joyful or melancholic – a great opportunity for such a minimalistic instrument!

          The service was flawless. Thanks to support managers who advised me to shop from their European store (and this way save a lot on crazy customs fees). Now looking for another RAV to expand harmonic possibilities of the A Integral.

          So stoked to have my new RAV Vast drum! A great instrument with great sound and so many opportunities for pairing with other instruments! I often jam with various musicians and this is a very versatile scale that sounds good with the guitar, violin, didgeridoo (actually a whole number of musical instruments). I once paired it with the D Celtic Minor RAV Vast and it resulted to be a fascinating sound!

          Thanks, RAV Vast for this amazing instrument!

          What joy to receive this instrument!  The craftsmanship on the Rav Vast and every piece of equipment and packaging is impeccable. The A Integral is a beautiful scale.  The sound is mesmerizing and it is easy to just begin and keep going.

          I enjoy having to the mallets too.  The sounds of hands, fingers and the various mallets are all unique and each have a different quality of resonance on the vast.  

          This scale is varied and it’s great to have both major and minor. It’s a nice layout to reach chords easily and having the 7ths makes it really magical sounding.

          Thank you to the sales team for their great advice and insights.  Shipping was fast and easy, even during the Covid pandemic.

          I already love this instrument and look forward to the beauty it will bring into our lives.

          This is the second Rav that I have purchased it it's just as magical and inspiring as my other one (D minor). It's a joy to play, easy to take care of and as soon as you start playing it; people with gather around you. These instruments a beautiful took look at as well as listen to. Put it in the hands of a musician and you'll have a hard time getting it back. Anyone can benefit from owning a Rav!
