What makes the B Celtic Double Ding so special? It’s one of the first steel drums that was designed by RAV Vast and is the first experimental steel tongue drums that has two notes in the same area.
The Double Ding scale belongs to Celtic music culture, so the melodies played with this steel tongue drum has this specific Irish flavour. It can remind you of the ancient times, the songs about the feats of King Arthur and the love story of Tristan and Isolde.
The B Celtic Double Ding is a pentatonic based scale. What is it so unique about the pentatonic tuned musical instruments that make people love them? It’s all about the repeating harmonies – the same notes are tuned in stacked octaves. The B Celtic Double Ding provides you with the notes of 3 octaves (2nd, 3rd and 4th) for all your music experiments. Although the scale is called the B Celtic Double Ding, its Ding is tuned in A2, while B is the bottom note and the focal point of this scale. Instead of just having another note (like in other scales) the B Celtic Double Ding has a lower version of the A-note that is already present in this scale. The lower note allows you to add dynamics to your playing. You can add more percussion using the area above the tongue. You can choose between the happy A tuning and the more serious and mystical B tuning. An opportunity to change the key provides you a greater variety of songs you can play. If you want to play in the B minor key, exclude the Ding. If you want to switch to A major, avoid tapping two bottom notes - B2 and F#3 (check out the online music sample for this technique).
This scale has no halftones. And the absence of halftones on this scale means it sounds very harmonious no matter which direction of the melody you choose. There is a lot of sympathetic resonance and all the notes are consonant.
For whom this scale will work
The B Celtic Double Ding is the scale that will work literally for anyone. It will be a perfect starting point for newbies. If you want to get the instrument that will teach you how to play, the one that will be able to provide you more and more options to learn while you are evolving as a musician, there’s no drum better from all the drums available for sale.
The B Celtic Double Ding will also give a lot to seasoned players. It’s a great scale for people who tend to improvise a lot as this scale has a good variety of chords available to it. Like a bigger number of markers in the box provide more colors to your art, the additional note gives you more room to perform anything you want from simple rhythms to integral music compositions.
An opportunity to change the key from major to minor forces you to get to know the scale in a different capacity unlike the scale with a fixed key. As the B Celtic Double Ding is a pentatonic-based scale, you’ll be able to find the common ground with a guitar or piano player (especially if they are familiar with the pentatonic scale which is kind of a blues scale).
This scale also pairs well with a bulk of other RAV drums like D Major, B Celtic Minor, B Kurd, B RUS and also sounds good with E Low Pygmy.

The Rav Vast B Celtic Double ding is awesome. I play for hours a day. The sound is amazing, I seem to go into a trance and the drum plays itself. New music comes out daily. Excellent layout on the notes. I can't wait until I can afford another one.

Firstly, the Rav team provides excellent communication and support. Second, the drum itself is a masterpiece. I own several handpans and tongue drums and my RAV is the most beautiful sounding by far. Will definitely be buying more Ravs with different tunings. Thanks RAV!

The first positive thing about this site was the human relationship with the staff. The answers, the great help and the service. The Rav I requested was shipped and arrived on time, the instrument well what to say, simply fantastic a clean sound and better than I had expected. The only problem is learning to play it. The scale is a good combination and has a good familiarity for me, neither too exotic nor too "new age".
Thank you very very much |
We bought two of these RAV Vast B Celtic Double Ding after falling in love with the sounds made by a friend of ours who does sound healing in our yoga centre.
We plan to use them with our classes and retreats as the sound is so beautiful. I made a stand from an old drum base that is stable and allows the full resonance. What is best about this item is that it allows both the A Major and the B Minor scales and has all the notes for the pentatonic scales so it can be either melodious or pensive or both! It is the start of our collection - we were so impressed with the team at RAV Vast, their responsiveness, generosity and good will. Highly recommend this item and the seller. Five stars for sure. |
I purchased this scale last November as my first RAV. It took me a very long time to choose what I wanted but I don't regret buying the B Celtic Double Ding as it is truly beautiful. I especially enjoy using it to play slow melodies. RAVs are just wonderful and it is well worth the investment as it is bringing me a lot of joy. Music for the soul, thank you to the whole team.

I brought the RAV Vast B Celtic Double Ding as a birthday present to myself with the help of my family. I was mainly attracted to the G and B scales, but went for the Double Ding here very easily after listening to a few different videos. I love the sound and the vibrations it works with. I am not a profound drummer or musician nor have I worked with a similar instrument before but I am very grateful for having this RAV into my life. I work with it intuitively. There is a great range of things I can do with it and I am very satisfied with my purchase, delivery, communication etc.
Thanks a lot to the teams. Dafni |
I took delivery of my Rav Vast ( Celtic B with 2 dings ) just a week or so ago. Fell in love with it straight out of the box. In just a few days I'd come up with so many musical ideas. I look forward to playing it everyday, and have experimented with mixing the Rav Vast along with video clips that I've taken over the years. They're not cheap, but I see it as a long term investment that should last me a lifetime! So Thank you Rav Vast. |
This drum is a work of art! It’s a stunningly beautiful instrument and then you play the thing and the tone is out of this world. It’s like this mini spaceship that makes tones as vast as space itself. It’s really quite amazing! 🛸👌🏼🤙🏼✌🏼 |
If your like me and you have gotten this far, and are debating whether or not to purchase One of these Beautiful Drums, all I can say is that it will change your Life. The B Celtic Double Ding in particular stuck out to me most. It's Versatility, being able to Play in Major and Minor, and it's Hypnotizing sound made this Drum the right on for me. The amazing thing is whether your a Beginner or a Pro anyone can pick one up and learn to make beautiful music in a relatively short period of. Since the Drum is already tuned into a Proper Scale there's virtually no wrong way to play it. Like I said choosing to buy one of these drums, be It the Celtic B Minor, or
ANY Drum of the RAV VAST collection it will likely be the the best decision you will make. |
I’ve always been dreaming to play a musical instrument. But my school music teacher told me I am what is called can’t care a tune in a basket, and I believed I am totally hopeless. But that was before I tried to play the RAV Vast that my boyfriend has. He’s a percussionist and he convinced me to give it a try. OMG! I didn’t even know I could create such incredible music! I instantly decided to pick up a RAV drum for myself and from various scales in their store I decided to buy the B Celtic Double Ding. It works both for professional musicians like my boyfriend and for dummies like me. We play it in turn with my boyfriend. He still performs better than me but I am learning and already can play some nice compositions and deal really well with the additional note. The purchase to US was really fast. The drum arrived in a super-safe package (however, the instrument is quite durable itself. I don’t even know what you can do with it to harm it). Still, I treat it carefully as it said in the instruction inside the box. I wipe it with a cloth and cover with some coconut oil. I play the RAV Vast literally every evening. Sometimes we play the RAV Vast together with my boyfriend. A really cool and romantic way to spend time together. |
