RAV Vast sounds deeper and richer than traditional handpans and other tongue drums because its tongues are uniquely designed to produce seven harmonically tuned overtones from a single strike — something no other instrument can achieve.
Thanks to this and other features, RAV Vast has gained worldwide recognition, with over 40,000 players across the globe.
Before RAV Vast, there were only two main types of instruments — both with their own limitations:
Handpans:
- Bulky, good = very expensive
- Very short sound - requires fast playing skills
- Fragile and require frequent retuning
Traditional tongue drums:
- Dirty and muted sound due to weak body design
- Flat and poor sound due to a lack of tuned overtones
- Stiff, thick, unresponsive tongues uncomfortable for finger playing
Its patented tongue design — the original Vast tongue shape with a signature V-tip — allows each tongue to produce a polyphonic blend of 7, 5, or 4 harmoniously tuned notes.
This creates a natural chorus effect that sounds even deeper and richer than traditional handpans.
The patented body design features a unique system of internal ribs, delivering cleaner sound and allowing more tuned harmonics to shine through. Unlike typical tongue drums, the high frequencies are not absorbed by the body but remain vibrant and bright.
Made from soft steel and seamlessly bonding the top and bottom shells, RAV Vast produces a captivatingly rich, mesmerizingly pure sound. It's perfectly sized and never goes out of tune.
