Description
Sonorous like the spring drops of melting icicle, the D Celtic takes you deeper with a hidden path to the secret druid forest. It’s tuned in a minor scale and has an incredibly soothing and relaxing sound. If you are looking for a tool to practice sound therapy, there’s no instrument better than the D Celtic Minor RAV Vast. The voice of this scale is really spellbinding and can hypnotize anyone who is hearing it.
The D Celtic is also the right choice if you are eager to find your first tongue drum. This is a beginner-friendly scale that will let you create perfect melodies. The seasoned musicians will get an opportunity to compose soothing and enchanting melodies and make the best accompaniment for meditation using the D Celtic Minor RAV Vast.The sound of the D Celtic Minor is very relaxing and makes you feel very enlightened while listening to it. Unlike many minor scales, it brings tranquillity without the feeling of melancholy. Thus, it’s a very positive scale. D minor (and its variations) is a widely popular scale for the hand drum and steelpans and the D Celtic Minor RAV Vast is no exception. More likely, the first handpan or tongue drum you heard online or offline was tuned in D minor. Now you’ve got the chance to get the sound that once had captivated you.
The sound of the D Celtic can remind you of the windchimes or singing bowl. These bowls are usual accompaniments for meditation and sound-healing, so the D Celtic is perfect for this purpose as well. It’s a chakra-tuned drum that means that each note of the drum harmonises with the inner vibrations of the chakras in your body and that’s what makes it a perfect instrument for energy balancing.
The steel tongues made of special steel are tuned in 3rd, 4th and 5th octave. The Ding is tuned in D3. The D Celtic is based on the D minor scale with the omitted 6th note. There are multiple classic chords that can be played with the D Celtic Minor: F major, С major, A minor, D Dorian, F Lydian.
It only creates the semitone difference between E4 and F4, being one of the most harmonious scales, and one of the easiest to deal with.
The D Celtic Minor has various relative scales in the RAV Vast drum collection. First, it’s, of course, the B Celtic Minor. At first glance, these two drums can seem to be literally twins. However, each one has its own individuality. The D Celtic has a higher (and lighter) voice than the relative B Celtic scale. It’s also more sonorous and has a more “airy” feel to it.
The D Celtic has its twin in the RAV Pan collection. Just like its Vast brother, the D Celtic RAV Pan is melodious, bright and provides a sense of hope. It is also one of the easiest scales to handle and will be a good choice if you start learning Pan. If you have a plan to acquire the handpan, you can first practice with the D Celtic RAV Vast and then switch to the new musical instrument tuned up in the familiar scale. Moreover, these two drums create an amazing duet, so you can experiment with simultaneous playing.
For whom this scale will work
The D Celtic is a good choice for an inexperienced musician who wants to have an instrument to practice meditation and improvisation while delving into the relaxing sound of the tongue drum.
In short words, are you a newbie (even without any real music theory understanding)? Do you like soft and relaxing melodies that still are not too moody? Are you desiring to get a versatile scale that you will have many melodies to come up with? If you tend to answer yes to these questions, then the D Celtic is your perfect choice. This is a very versatile scale that will be really easy to learn. It sounds great together with flutes and a good number of other tongue drums (D Celtic Minor, E Low Pygmy, A Integral) and handpans (D Celtic). Just like other Celtic scales, this one is pretty easy to get used to it, however, it has its own unique voice that provides this ethereal sound.

This is my first RAV Vast and I absolutely love it. I've never played this type of instrument before, but had created my first song within an hour of opening the box. Very easy to learn, excellent sound, beautiful looks - what more could you ask for. I play the Native American style flute and this key works perfectly with my D minor and a few other keys of flutes I own. The tones it produces are extremely soothing and relaxing, kind of like candy for your ears. What are you waiting for, buy one already ;)

I will keep it simple. Buy one. Find a tuning that sounds good to you, and just buy it. They are worth every penny. Craftsmanship is outstanding, shipping is very fast, and the people are very nice. I have been playing several hours a day since I got it, sometimes even falling asleep playing it at 3AM. It's very relaxing. I highly recommend one. I liked this tuning because it works well with my guitars tuned to D standard. I will most likely be ordering another tuning soon. Long live RAV Vast.

This is my first percussion instrument of this kind and I have not had much experience playing with my hands. However, the D Celtic Minor has only been wonderful and soothing to play. and I am eternally grateful for the RAV Vast team for bringing this experience into my life. I was torn between this scale and a D Major, but now I realize I just need both. The D Celtic Minor sounds like twilight in a mountaintop aspen forest, which is, coincidentally, where I live, and the sound of the RAV Vast dancing across the snow brings immense peace to my soul. This scale is truly meditative and easy to play fast or slow. It also sounds amazing with a baritone ukulele because of the whole notes!
The craftsmanship of the drum is second to none. The tongues are cut with such precision, even on the smallest lines, yet the edges are soft and comfortable. Every note is pure and multi-dimensional, and no matter how you strike, slap, or caress the drum, the sound that is produced evokes wondrous joy. It helps me decompress after work and brings my fiancee and me closer whenever we play together. I can't imagine my life anymore without a RAV Vast. I can't wait to get another! The 2020 paint reminds me of the deep ocean, and the matte finish sings with the the lightest stroke, adding yet another level of possible sounds the the repertoire of the RAV Vast. Nikita was amazing to work with. I had trouble paying with a US debit card and she reached out to me first asking if I needed help. She promptly sent me a Paypal invoice and I was able to pay within 20 minutes. The communication and professionalism was top notch and shipping was much faster than expected as a bonus. Thank you for everything and I wish you the best for the future. If you are considering a drum, no matter which one you choose, you will be exceptionally pleased with the instrument. Do not wait another second to bring a RAV Vast into your home!! |

Absolutely LOVE my new Rav Vast. The D Celtic Minor is definitely beginner friendly. I’ve played various djembes and the like over the years...but outside of that my experience is null. This instrument sounds so beautiful in person. The virtual player was helpful in choosing a scale, but doesn’t do the sound this thing produces justice. Hitting that first note almost brought a tear to me eye. It sounds that good. The accessories are all of the highest tier of quality, as is the drum itself. Even how the drum and accessories were packaged was beyond top tier. Much care and consideration was spent in that area. Last but DEFINITELY not least - the staff at rav labs are absolutely wonderful. Incredibly kind, and helpful. The D Celtic minor may be my first - there is NO way it will be my last. If you’re reading these reviews because you are on the fence - take it from someone like me, JUST DO IT. %0 purchase remorse. I cannot speak highly enough of the products, and the incredible team behind them. Thank you RAV LABS, a thousand times over again 🙏

After ordering my first Rav Vast (B celtic minor) I liked it so much, that I wanted another one!
So, my second Rav Vast was D Celtic Minor - GOLD! Rav team's support was excellent (for one more time!) Now, after having some free time available to play with my new Rav Vast, all I can say is...it's AMAZING!! Love the sound, love the color and love the Rav team's support! Love Rav Vast!! Thank you for your excellent support and for making such amazing musical instruments!! Higly recommended!!! :-) Asterios - Greece |

This is my first drum of any kind and I am not disappointed. Having done some research online about which scale to choose and from the information provided on each scale on the Rav Vast website I was confident in my choice.
My drum took only a few days to reach me in Spain from Estonia and the quality of the workmanship and the sound is outstanding. I was delighted from start to finish from the purchase (which was really simple and straight forward), to the speed of delivery and the customer care. Fabulous! Thank you |

What can I say about this beauty? I got mine a few months ago, and I really enjoy play my Rav Vast 2 D Celtic Minor. The only things a beginner should think about before getting a Rav, is if they have a belly, they might want to get a stand for it, rather than put it on their lap. The next thing to think about is don’t over do it your first few times playing your new Rav. Your hands will be going against metal so if you’re not use to the movements in the beginning your hands might get sore. As for the instrument itself its worth it. The delivery was much faster than I expected, and the craftsmanship is amazing. Lastly the scale that the Rav Vast 2 D Celtic Minor is in is great for relaxation, it has a serious affect on my mood, and while playing it there often comes a point where the sounds from the Rav I feel echo in my heart in a beautiful way. |

Vast D Celtic Minor !!! What a show. In order of arrival it was the last one I received and it has become my favorite scale . It combine perfectly with the A Integral and G minor Pentatonic scale, less preferable but still compatible with E low Pygmy. It is an accessible scale even for beginners but it tends to be a bit D dependent, which is why I like to combine it with A integral because it allows me to create chords with A2 C3 F3 G3. In case you can combine it with a G minor Pentatonic or a G Pygmy you could easily get a Scala D Kurd thanks to the presence A # 3. its sonority is round and full and even if played more quickly, the notes that normally have a very long sonic tail ,do not mix together in bad ways. Vast D Celtic Minor!!! Che Spettacolo. In ordine di arrivo e' stato l' ultimo che ho ricevuto ed e' diventata la scala che in assoluto preferisco. Si abbina perfettamente con la scala A Integral e G minor Pentatonic meno preferibile ma comunque compatibile con E low Pygmy. E una scala accesibile anche per i principianti ma tende ad essere un po' D dipendente, ed e' per questo che mi piace abbinarlo con A integral perché mi consente di creare accordi con A2 C3 F3 G3. Nel caso lo possiate abbinare ad un G minor Pentatonic o un G Pygmy potreste facilmente ottenere una Scala D Kurd grazie alla presenza A#3. la sua sonoritá e' rotonda e piena e anche se suonato con maggiore rapiditá ,le note che di norma hanno una coda sonora molto lunga , non si mescolano tra loro in malo modo. |
