RAV Moon - Engineered Portability, Signature Sound:

The RAV Moon is a distinct steel tongue drum built on proprietary acoustic design. Its spiral tongue geometry delivers polyphonic overtones—fundamental, octave, and fifth. The rim retains a bright, clean response for percussive accents, while the tuned tongues ensure clear note separation and long-lasting sustain in a compact format.

Clarity & Portability

The RAV Moon introduces a refined spiral tongue architecture, engineered to combine the playability of traditional tongue drums with the harmonic richness of tonal fields. Each tongue produces three fundamental tuned notes with precise harmonic overtones. Higher partials are strategically dampened through precision adhesive bonding, ensuring a clean, focused fundamental tone without unwanted harmonic interference. This results in a bright, articulate voice optimized for practice, travel, and performance.
