 Наш новый инструмент, глюкофон Galaxy Drum B Celtic Minor, наконец появился в коллекции RAV инструментов! Вдохновленный минорным RAV Vast B Celtic, этот глюкофон создает успокаивающее, романтичное звучание с лёгким настроением меланхолии. B Celtic Minor — это идеальный язычковый барабан для начинающего музыканта, так как он прост в обращении и позволяет реализовать различные музыкальные комбинации. Galaxy Drum — это первый шаг, в мир космического звука.Так что если вы мечтали о барабане RAV Vast, обратите внимание на Galaxy Drum B Celtic Minor! |
 RAV Vast F Astronaut – это первый инструмент в истории нашего бренда, который мы создавали не одни. Мы его разработали в сотрудничестве с португальским музыкантом Кабесяо. Сыграв на своём инструменте космическую мелодию в очередной раз, Кабесяо задумался, что было бы здорово создать инструмент с похожим настроением и атмосферой. И вот здесь команда RAV протянула руку помощи. У F Astronaut мистическое, но лёгкое звучание. Несмотря на то, что расклад нот схож с F Pygmy, музыка F Astronaut создаёт неповторимое ощущение левитации и путешествия в космосе. Эта настройка подойдёт как новичкам, так и профессиональным музыкантам. F Astronaut прекрасно звучит самостоятельно, но и создаст гармоничный дуэт со струнными, клавишными и духовыми инструментами. Помимо F Pygmy он также прекрасно сочетается с другими барабанами RAV Vast. RAV Vast F Astronaut станет незаменимым компаньоном в медитации и саундхиллинге. Музыка этого инструмента способствует снижению уровня стресса, помогает сконцентрироваться на самосознании и улучшает самочувствие в целом. |
 Глубокий, мистический, сочный – именно эти эпитеты мы используем при описании A Integral RAV Vast. Мелодии, созданные на этом инструменте, будто двери в другой мир, причудливый, странный, но до безумия интересный. Этот замечательный инструмент предназначен для профессионалов. В зависимости от основной ноты меняется и настроение мелодии. Оно может быть и минорным, и мажорным. Шесть из девяти нот A Integral находятся в 3-ей октаве, динг настроен на А2, а верхние две ноты на 4-ю октаву. Опытные музыканты и обладатели пэнов оценят расслабляющее звучание A Integral. Этот инструмент окажется находкой для тех, кто ищет аккомпанемент для медитаций. Благодаря таинственному звучанию и необычайно долгому сустейну, по сравнению с другими равами, этот барабан идеально подойдёт для саундхиллинга, музыкальной терапии и йоги. A Integral хорошо сочетается с другими равами: E Low Pygmy, G Pygmy, D Celtic Minor. Если вы хотите погрузить своих слушателей в глубокую, таинственную атмосферу, то сыграйте на A Integral дуэтом с E Low Pygmy. |

Одна из любимых настроек. Это уже второй барабан, первый купил ещё 4 года назад. Качество топ, причём за ту же цену сейчас можно купить только какие гаражные переделки. Очень доволен, ребята жгите!

I just received my new A Integral RAV Vast, and I love it! What a great collection of notes. The deep navy blue is a great new color. And THE SUSTAIN IS INSANE! I plan to play it at Native American flute circles that I attend frequently, and of course, in solo performance as well. I look forward to many great musical experiences with this rav vast.

Meet electroacoustics from RAV! The electroacoustic drum allows you to play with the headphones on, output sound to speakers and perform on stage without a microphone. The instrument opens up wide possibilities for creativity. You can use various additional effects that will only enhance the rich sound of the steel tongue drum. RAV Vast A Integral (A2 C3 E3 F3 G3 A3 B3 C4 E4) will enchant you with its hypnotic sound. One of the advantages of this scale is the presence of major and minor notes. So the musician can change the mood of the melody right while he is playing! The A Integral is an enigmatic scale with inimitable energy. It has a dark melodic sound and provides listeners with an esoteric state of mind. What makes it different from other RAV Vasts? First, this steel drum has a meditative and hypnotizing sound. Second, this scale refers to Native American culture. When we were creating A Integral, we imagined a lonely horseman looking for a way home through a deserted prairie. The main purpose of electroacoustics is undoubtedly the direct sound output to the speakers. Acoustic instruments equipped with piezo sensors can easily connect the amplifier through a standard wire without needing an additional microphone. Piezo elements are located in the body of the instrument under each tongue. Due to this, the sound of each tongue is reproduced accurately. The electroacoustic steel drum opens up a wide range of creative possibilities. You will be able to play loudly to a large audience without fear of external noise. You can record tracks directly to the recorder, both via cable and microphones, if you want to combine RAV Vast and the sounds of the environment. It is a great chance to get into sound design. Yes, a RAV Vast already has an inimitable sound, but by using effect pedals, processors or plugins you will only enrich the palette. For example, reverb or delay will add to the scale and profoundness of the original sound. |

I have already got RAV VAST, but it was difficult to skip this amazing product. Love to think that Im the first owner of this product.

The instrument opens up wide possibilities for creativity. You can use various additional effects that will only enhance the rich sound of the steel tongue drum. D Major (D3 G3 A3 B3 C#4 D4 E4 F#4 A4) is the most popular scale in the history of music. Our D Major drum has a soft joyous sound. And it can be accompanied by almost all existing musical instruments. D Major is also a good option for a professional musician who is searching for a full-sound instrument. This scale is quite versatile and, as such, leaves room for your music experiments and compositions, especially if you do a lot of collaboration with other musicians. As the D Major is a popular scale used in many music compositions, you’ll quickly jump into any music band and be able to uphold the repertoire. It works perfectly with many musical instruments but makes the most incredible duet with guitars. The main purpose of electroacoustics is undoubtedly the direct sound output to the speakers.

I am a musician and I make the performance, that is why I needed a special RAV to perform. The electroacoustic RAV D Major is what was waiting for. I am very happy with my RAV D Major electroacoustic, thank you very much!

The second lovely drum for my son. Thank you!

Получила сегодня свой равваст. Звук шикарный, очень понравился но тяжёлый такой по весу, мне почему - то казалось что будет легче. Спасибо магазину за предоставленную скидку.

Отличный барабан! Просто космос!

 A Integral RAV Vast 432Hz is a younger brother of our A Integral scale. It sounds even more bewildering yet soft and soothing. It resembles a tranquil melody of a music box from childhood that we opened whenever we needed to abstract away from reality. A Integral 432Hz is for musicians who have an advanced level of playing skills. While the Ding is tuned in A2, the rest notes are in the 3rd and 4th octaves. The scale allows choosing between major and minor keys. How? By simply changing the root note of your melody. The experienced drummers and handpan players will love this scale for its relaxing sound. In addition, it's a godsend for those who are looking for an accompaniment for meditation sessions. Being a 432 Hz instrument called "The Earth's heartbeat", this drum is perfect for sound-healing, music therapy and yoga. It creates that intimate connection with the players and vibrates in harmony with their souls. |

Huge thanks to RAV Labs for getting in a Vast D Blues for me a couple weeks ago.
Really loved its deep and moody sound. I just can’t walk past it without picking it up to play again! |
 Like Jamie Lee Curtis’s dance in True Lies, like a Two Feet song at a maximum volume, like your most favorite dessert D Blues entices and teases you with its velvet sound. The atmosphere created with this scale is romantic, passionate, even intimate. Based on a traditional blues gamma this RAV has a mysterious deep sound that carries dynamics as well as tension. Among all the steel tongue drums in our range, this one is a sexy fellow. The D Blues has a tricky note layout so will be difficult for a beginner. But for a musician with a string instrument background this RAV will be a great tool for building technical skills and mastering musical theory. The D Blues scale gives a brilliant opportunity for composers and songwriters to find themselves in the direction they’ve never been before but wouldn’t ever leave. |

I have ordered RAV Pan 3 month ago. It was my birthday present for myself. I am happy with my RAV Pan! I play it everyday and I can`t stop. The sound is amazing and deep. I use it for meditation. I enjoy the craftsman work and its dark brown color. The craftsman work is excellent. |
 Enjoy the deep and mystical sound when playing the G Pygmy RAV Vast. This scale was inspired by severe primaeval nature. It conjures up in your mind the pictures of stalactite caves, lava fields, cold springs, deep creeks and old-growth forests. The sound of the G Pygmy will take you to the places where the spirits of nature live. This is another Pygmy scale drum created by RAV Vast. Along with the E Low Pygmy RAV Vast and the F Pygmy RAV Pan the G Pygmy creates a perfect trio in a very beloved handpan/hang drum tuning. This scale is a great choice to become your first RAV drum, especially if you are looking for a darker sound to create a mysterious mood. Advanced players will enjoy the opportunity to choose between the major and minor feel and create highly contrasting compositions. |

I am grateful to the Rav team for such a wonderful instrument, everything I
wanted, low sound, deep bass, enchanting sound. It makes me very relaxed and calm. I feel peace and serenity |
|
Hello, I received my wonderful instrument and I am so grateful to you. Beautifully packed! After playing it for the very first time, I started realizing how magical the sound is. It really sounds amazing and I look forward to learning its secrets! hugging |

Nice drum! Super magical sound. I use it for my morning meditation. Thank you, RAV Team

Здравствуйте,прошло 2 месяца с момента получения инструмента и я готов оставить свои отзыв.Хочу выразить признательность за помошь в подборе инструмента, ваши специалисты прекрасно справились со своею работой( у меня уже был инструмент вашего производства рав васт в строе g pygmy и мне было важно чтобы они были созвучны друг с другом,так и получилось они создают прекрасную звуковую картину) Доставка и упаковка на высшем уровне- спасибо.Акссесуары заслуживают отдельных слов признательности,крутой чехол с хорошей внутренней защитной вставкой с продуманной технологией,удобный,из приятных материалов.Стики для игры на нижних нотах- очень красивые,интересное техническое решение,великолепное исполнение,к сожалению пока не привык к ним,кажутся немного неудобными для перкусионной игры,но думаю это дело привычки.Сам инструмент,очень нежный,чуткий,гармонично звучащий,настоящая звуковая скульптура,может быть доволно громким и в тоже время комфортно играть тихо.Сустейн по сравнению с равом значительно короче,но звук очень чистый, нет призвуков металла,отлично подходит для скоростной перкуссионной игры.Инструмент довольно объемный и поначалу кажется неудобным , для себя решил это игрой на стойке.Нижние ноты обогащают игру,требуют привычки.Инструмент выполнен на очень высоком профессиональном уровне, мне потребуется много времени чтобы расскрыть весь его потенциал,я очень рад тому,что вы существуете в нашей стране и делаете такие потрясающие живые вещи,огромное вам спасибо,надеюсь у вашей фирмы все будет хорошо))
С уважением и признательностью Плужник Никита. |
 F Pygmy – это чёрная жемчужина в нашей коллекции RAV Pan. На создание этого барабана ушли почти все наши силы. А сам он пережил тысячи ударов молотком, чтобы обрести свой необычайно красивый звук. F Pygmy подойдёт опытным музыкантам, которые хотят попробовать новое звучание и попрактиковаться в импровизации. У этой настройки сочный, глубокий звук, который напоминает ритуальные мелодии племён центральной Африки. Для них музыка – это не просто звук, это способ коммуникации с духами природы. Поэтому этот пэн подойдёт для терапии, снятия стресса и медитации. Барабан настроен на 3-ю, 4-ю, и 5-ю октавы. В дополнение к классическим девяти нотам наверху мы добавили 2 мембраны на дне. За счет этого звучание становится разнообразней и ярче. F Pygmy может играть и соло и с другими равами и пэнами. |

I have decided to buy a RAV Vast thanks to my brother who has bought a hang drum a couple of years ago. Each time, I wanted to play his hang. Looking to buy one for myself, I discovered the RAV Vast and found that with his deeper and longer sustain it would resonate more with me and the way I connect with vibrations, and that it was more cheaper.
After some research, I decided to choose the G Pygmy scale and I couldn’t be happier. I like its “night and day” sides, it being a little bit mysterious but not sad. Thanks RAV labs for this wonderful instrument. Now I finally think I can “be a musician” and enjoy playing music. Remy |

Dan from the UK here! It’s been around 6 months since I purchased my D Celtic minor. I’m a drummer and always find myself randomly tapping my hands on my knees, tables and basically anything in front of me!
 So I thought a Rav Vast would be a good thing to invest in. Let me tell you, it was. I love it so much! It’s such a soulful instrument with beautiful craftsmanship. Some of the sounds this thing can produce are incredible, and also versatile, sounding stunning when played loud, quiet, both and anything in between!It was very easy to learn the basics, even someone with 0 musical experience could learn to play pretty quickly. Being in the UK, I was a little concerned about the shipping, but everything was shipped and delivered to my door with no issues at all. Lastly, thank you to the RAV customer service, they are lovely and help you out fast and effectively. I even won a free stand from them because of my purchase! So if you’re on the fence on whether to get one or not, go for it! 100% recommend! |

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.

This is my first Rav Vast and I love it! I already have 2 handpans and was looking for some lower notes to extend my playing scales and harmonies. It is difficult to find all these lower notes on one handpan/hang as the tonefields would be so big, but hey, here they are on the Rav Vast A Integral tongue drum. I am enjoying playing my D Kurd handpan with the A Integral Rav Vast to give those low harmonies. But I also love playing the Rav Vast A Integral on its own - it is indeed a beautiful scale, so low and mysterious. I am also glad I bought the Rav Vast mallets to go with it, which give the notes a stronger clearer sound and bell-like quality. This scale and the mallets have given me so many different playing options and were an excellent purchase in my opinion. |

Hi Everyone!
RAV VAST D celtic - i felt it first, i bought it last:) this scale resonated most with me - i played all scales a lot, there were 5, than 3, and at the end i was sure that D celtic is my choice I`m so happy with the sound of it - more and more as i progress slowly in playing. Uplifting, spiritial and ethereal sound, much better live rather than on virtual player. So many possibilities.. i`m happy that i landed on 432 hz as well. D celtic is very begginer friendly - first random plays were sounding good to friends of mine like it was a composed thing:) Thank you RAV VAST Team for perfect service and support! keep going Best regards, Petar |
 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. |

Hi Everyone!
Being owner for about a month of D Celtic on 432 hz, i can say that i`m more than happy, just as i imagined this scale to be for me. It was not easy to choose it - about a month of playing in virtual player, but almost all of the time i was sure - D celtic will be my scale:) i just felt it since the beggining, it resontes me most. No other scale could compete it, they all fell of and only D celitc remained at the end I`m happy with it, sound is magnetic, celtic, more deep and beautiful than you can hear on the virtual. Playing everyday with online course from David Charrier- as more as i progress, i love the scale more and more. I`m happy that i chose 432 hz as well. this RAV is very beginner friendly - i`m not musician and the first things i played randomly on it was liked by friends who heard me thought as if it was something composed:) Thank you RAV VAST Team for excellent service and support. Keep going. Best wishes Petar |

I just received my amazing Pan. Beyond my expectations! Within an hour it was jamming awesome rhythms for me, practically plays itself. I will be buying another drum here when I can afford it. Thanks to all of the eople that made this drum possible!

To play raw vast its a dream I purchased this as a family gift to my family including myselve two weeks to go to x-mas I am playing in i secret when my family id not att home. I just cant wait to finaly open it under the x-mas tree. But I was chocked import taxes to sweeden where very high…. 220$ still worth but check it out for your country( i did not)so you dont get chocked and broke like me this month. I also recomend to buy mallets straight away sound is richer and easier to hit.

I have Rav Vast drum since 2016. I like it a lot.
Yesterday I received hand pan D Celtic. The design, color, and sound are fantastic. |
|
I bought my first Rav Drum 5 years ago. Happy with it.
Just received my handpan. Great quality with incredible sound. The metal feels great. |

Well, I'm about 20 days away from retirement. After learning about the RAV Vast and hearing the wonderful music played, it didn't take me long to decide this is how I want to spend some of my time. Of all the instruments I've played from the old recorder flute, to French Fingering, to guitar, this instrument has the best of all worlds precision and warmth, personality and the freedom to explore just with the endless sounds that can be created. Thanks to the team for all their help in selecting and with the buying process. And best of all, delivery came 3 days sooner than the unexpectedly fast delivery projected. Amazing. Thanks again... And blessings to all of you in the New Year, and much success going forward! Achim

I love my RAV g pygmy. Got the RAV today with the Travel hard case, soft backpack purple case, purple “ropeprotector for edge”, mallets, wood stand. All is perfect, all are such high quality. I did open in front of delivery as instructed to verify drum perfect. I’m in Oklahoma, USA and i received drum really fast with no glitches, i did have to pay my customs tax before DHL would deliver, it was $72 on $1150 purchase(incase it helps you to guess your customs tax, cause i was worrying… wow, wonder if the customs tax is gonna be outrageous) i took 6 months of drum when in 5th grade, that was 50 years ago! This is my new hobbie, looking forward to many years of learning and playing. The sound is awesome! I highly recommend all RAVs products. Thank you RAV team, Sincerely Geneva❤️

I'm in love with this drum!!! New to steel drums and have very little musical experience, but it's so easy to make music! Very meditative, intuitive, and blissful playing this drum. Rav has done a great job both with the quality of the instrument and it's also so beautifully made. Very satisfied!

 Are you travelling a lot or just tend to take your RAV Vast everywhere you go? This case was designed specially for the RAV Vast tongue drums. 5mm-secure hard shell will protect your RAV from damages. Made of closely woven Oxford fabric, this hard case is water resistant. The case is locked with zipper. |
|
I just received my rav last week along with this case, and I really like it.
The quality is incredible and has a well thought-out design |
|
Чудесный послушный инструмент. Завораживающий глубокий и яркий звук. Никаких "тазиковых" шумов (я очень опасалась). Я делаю звуко-медитацию, и мне было важно как долго летит звук и какое настроение создает. Rav Vast в принципе инструмент, с которым можно и нужно использовать резонанс. Ну а настрой B Rus может запросто поддерживать состояние легкого транса и безмятежности, Так что я очень довольна. А еще его приятно держать в руках. Приятная тяжесть металла, шероховатая синяя спинка, изящные линии язычков. У нас с ним похоже любовь
Благодарю также ребят-сотрудников, которые помогли организовать доставку в Сидней. Все очень четко, в срок и сохранно. Отличная команда. Спасибо. Катерина. |
 Exotic and bewitching, sweet but spicy like baklava and sherbet, the D Hijaz RAV Pan recreates the traditional Arabic maqam, hijaz, in the RAV’s version. Therefore, it is an unusual and unique scale in the RAV Pan’s family. Unlike many of the other RAV drums based on classic Greek or European scales, this arrangement of notes originates in the musical tradition of a Middle-Eastern maqam. Hijaz scale names can differ depending on the culture. However, it is used in middle-eastern music, motives of flamenco and even in Jewish folk songs. Due to the many half steps, this scale can be tricky for beginner players, but if you are searching for a scale with a middle eastern flavour and a fantastic potential for percussive playing, this would be an excellent choice! When you purchase the RAV Pan, you also get a hard case to ease the transporting. |

Just perfect!

G Pygmy! I have had this drum for about a week now and am still in awe over it. Now I know why it's so popular!
The scale feels totally intuitive and several melodies came almost immediately on playing around. The sound is deep and mysterious and so much better in person than what most videos and sound samples capture. (One which I find comes very close is a video on Youtube by Anatoliy Gernadenko, best listened to with good speakers or headphones.)As advertised the Pygmy has nice overtones that can be activated by striking different parts of the wings of the tongues, as well as the fields above them. The thinner steel seems to make these tones more sensitive and easier to activate (plus the whole drum is a bit lighter weight than others, which is great for traveling with it). Even light touches can really make this drum sing. Hitting some of the lower notes together, especially after the central ding, also makes this deep, bassy resonance that seems to fill the air and your body. I love it! Thanks again Rav team, for these wonderful instruments! |
 Do you have a big plan for learning to play the tongue drum? Make your choice for the B Celtic Double Ding. It’s a perfect drum to upgrade your playing technique from zero to hero and from hero to a pro-level. Beginners will love this scale as it is very melodic and easy to handle. Seasoned musicians will appreciate the harmonious sound of the instrument, the ease to improvise and the increased number of notes that give more room for experiments. This scale is tuned in B and has an additional A-bass note. Like a two-side coat which is bright and colorful from the outside and dark from the inside, the B Celtic has two sides. You can choose between the two moods – the cheerful A major and the moody B minor – by switching the keynote of the melody. |
|
This instrument is so EPIC. I am amazed how good tunes this Vast has. Every tune you hit will take you on a meditative journey. Build quality of the Vast is just astonishing. Their live chat is responsive and they will help you anytime. I am very satisfied with the instrument and service. Ty.

 Playing the B Celtic Minor is like wandering around the lush sacred groves after the April shower looking for the four-leaf clover. You can hear the notes of Greensleeves while playing this scale. It recreates the traditions of Celtic rhythms that you still can hear in English folk music and old Irish ballades. The B Celtic Minor has a romantic and slightly melancholic minor voice. It produces a calm and peaceful sound and is really easy to play. This is the scale you can’t really go wrong with as it’s very harmonious. The B Celtic Minor will become a perfect choice for beginners as it is easy to handle and learn various patterns. It also works perfectly for a fast-playing style. The B Celtic Minor pairs perfectly a good bunch of RAV drums and other instruments, so it’s gonna be a good choice for a pro to take part in jam sessions. |

Beautiful scale. Easy to play
|
|
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!

Хотел оставить свой положительный отзыв о данном интернет магазине! Магазин отличный, быстрая обратная связь, качественный и многогранный ассортимент аксессуаров и инструментов! А сам барабан на столько утончённый, что не хочется выпускать его из рук. Теперь у меня новое увлечение, Прекрасный Рав Васт!
Доволен покупкой 👍 рекомендую. |

I would like to thank the Rav Team for their support throughout the ordering process of my Rav Vast. Everything went very well, I received my G Pygmy quite quickly and in good condition.
The instrument is quite heavy and seems to be of good quality. The sounds of the G Pygmy are very airy, mystical with a touch of nostalgia. I had a spacedrum in the past and I prefer the sounds of the Rav. I found several melodies quite easily. It's easy to play at almost any time of the day, because if you play it softly, it's very quiet. There are really a lot of possibilities to explore, I'm just at the beginning. Thanks ! |

After years of dreaming about having that kind of instrument, I recently discovered Rav.
They bring us such a good handmade instrument at a very good price. So I bought it and planned to travel with him, spread his beautiful sound the nature around me. It tooks 14 days to come (that was during May and we have plenty holidays during this month in France, that's why). But when i got it, i left the next day. I spent a month playing everywhere and everyday, i love him so much. I keep playing everyday, practicing my skill and creating musics. This is an investment for your mind, for people, for nature and for love. IMG_5338.jpg (1.86 Mb) |

Hi beautiful stranger,
If you’re about to buy a steel drum I would really recommend this website and the rav vast team. They help you trough each state of choosing which one is made for you. You can ask a lot of questions, day and night they’re here to help. Take your time to choose which sound is for you, follow your guts, they’re always right. If you’re doubting about the price, you can pay in parts so I would say just go for it. Love, Manou CF31B17D-8036-4FAA-9040-E3F13ECD7275.jpeg (602.31 Kb) |

Thank you for your polite shipping in a very beautiful packaging.
Very beautiful design and Sustain, much richer than I expected I entrust you with the comfort of expanding the scale of the D Celtic Minor.(432) Depending on how I play and how I use my hands and mallets, the range of performances can be expanded! I'm just getting started, so practice more I want to expand the world steadily. Thank you for letting me know the tutorial yutube address by email. I'll try! and, I'm playing a crystal bowl, and I'm sure it will be a study for playing a crystal bowl. My cells are always looking for music! My insutagram on the day I first touched RAV;) thank you! With love from Japan! I pray for your health and happiness. |

Many thanks to Andrey and the whole RAV Team for such a beautiful instrument!
My G Pygmy arrived safely here in the US on 5 July, and daily sonic explorations have been ongoing since then. This scale is particularly rich with resonance, and the depth of harmonic response blows my mind every time I play - RAV Mallets have added a whole new range of sounds, too, and they're a really great addition to any RAV Vast. This instrument speaks with every touch, in many voices - I'm looking forward to many discoveries yet to come with this wonderful "spaceship"! 0.jpeg (617.38 Kb) |
 Hard case for your pan included! Taking the D Major RAV Pan is like buying a ticket to a very good music concert. This handpan has a light, vague, and airy feel to it and arouses the feeling of listening to your favorite songs. This drum is the recreation of the classic D Major scale in the RAV Pan version. D Major scale is one of the most frequently used and definitely one of the most known scales in music history. This drum was made to pair the D Major RAV Vast as both drums have the same note layout. To keep the perfect sound of this amazing instrument safe we provide a RAV Pan HardCase made of special protective material as a compliment when you are purchasing the RAV Pan. |

After a couple of years of RAV Vast playing with different scales, I decided to give the RAV pan a try.
Playing a Handpan has been for many years a dream, which came true now with this beautiful F pigmy RAV pan. To begin with, the overall instrument manufacturing quality is excellent (no surprise there, since I knew already RAV Vast quality). It sounds incredibly deep and warm, the sound easily fill the surrounding space with just a gentle touch. I feel like my exploration journey of this beautiful instrument is just begun, I really look forward during the day for the moment I can finally play it When I bought it, it was in stock, so it only took few days to get at my place. The packaging was excellent and it is very appreciated that it comes with the hard case included! I had a small misunderstanding about the content of the delivery, but it was quickly sorted out by the always professional and careful customer support. Thank you RAV |

Just perfect.

I already have a much loved RAV B Kurd so I knew what to expect. But I was still blown away by the G Pygmy - this scale has such an otherworldly deep sound and allows for effortless flow when playing. The different thickness of the steel makes the sound quite distinct. I play both on a daily basis. Highly recommended.

I have had my 1st Rav vast (D major) for about a week now. As a percussionist, it is really fun to play. It is a fun challenge for me to jump into the melody side of percussion music instead of just rhythm. And with the notes on the drum specifically chosen to sound well together, I can't really play it wrong or poorly.
I really enjoy how much variety of sounds you can get by playing it with my hands. I did add the mallets to get the additional sounds from the vast. The bigger felt tips really do produce a more warm soothing sound great for times of meditation/reflection. They take away from the some of the hand 'slap' sound. (some of that sound is probably from my still being very new to the drum)The drum itself is beautiful and well crafted. The sound is very soothing and uplifting at the same time. Fantastic. The staff was very helpful answering the days worth of questions I kept throwing at them while trying to decide what key to get. The order was processed in a very timely manner and I even received it a few days earlier than originally stated. Like mentioned in other reviews, the only downside I've had with this so far is that now I want another one. lol |
 Like an intricate riddle to be solved or an inscrutable mystery to be revealed, C Blues overwhelms you with no wish to let go. Tuned in a minor pentatonic scale the instrument produces a very perplexed and mesmerizing sound that is very familiar for detective show fans. And like any complicated story the melody played on C Blues can be both slow, deep and moving or dynamic, tense and energetic. The melody usually has its own direction so you never know where it will take you next! The layout of the instrument is different from the rest, so it will be not easy to play for people with zero music background. Experienced musicians, on the contrary, will find it perfect for songwriting or improvisations. Advanced knowledge of music theory will be beneficial. In particular, this scale will make logical sense for guitar and piano players. RAV Vast C Blues produces a very recognizable sound that will definitely be acknowledged by the public! |
|
This is my fourteenth instrument.
Excellent Blues scale also useful for expanding the expressiveness of Celtic D minor. The possibility of playing a D kurd or a D hijiaz in Vast sauce. Round and full sound, very warm starting from the basic chords in C and then ranging from those in D # F and A # G. The combinations in B2 and A2 are excellent if you have a B celtic Double Ding available or an E Low Pygmy. |
|
First Rav Vast I've purchased.
Even though it's for advanced players, this scale was the one that spoke strongest to my Heart! I couldn't be happier with it! The costumer service is amazing, it arrived super fast to Portugal, and was really well packed! The sound is amazing, the craftsmanship is superb, it completely go beyond my high expectations!! I couldn't be happier with my purchase =) |
 B Celtic Double Ding сбалансированная настройка с уникальной особенностью. У этого RAVа не девять, а десять нот. Количество нот увеличивается за счет добавления дополнительного язычка, но это никак не влияет на качество звука. Так как и в других RAV барабанах звук B Celtic Double Ding чистый и гармоничный, без диссонансных призвуков. |
|
Рав Васт пришёл!
Благодарю вашу команду, за то что вы создаёте такое волшебство ! Я новичок и долго выбирала строй, мне кажется, я не ошиблась. Возможно, это в принципе один из крутых строев в линейке, хотя другие я не пробовала. Звук длинный и медитативный. Все нравится! |
|
The B Celtic minor is my first RAV Vast, and has exceeded all my expectations. It came extremely well packed, and it looks and sounds even more beautiful in person. It's like a piece of ancient art that also happens to be a marvelous musical instrument. The moment you make your first strike on the DING, you know you have something very special. The sound is indeed VAST. It's warm, deep, fills the room and entices everyone around to stop to listen. I had friends and neighbors over on the day it arrived, and everyone was thrilled to try it for themselves. It's easy to just get lost in it, as if it pulls you into another world where nothing else matters. For me it's a perfect meditative tool. It's also amazingly easy and intuitive to play, you really can't go wrong!
Thank you to the RAV Vast team for making my dream of having such an instrument a reality. It's simply magical. IMG_6942.jpg (688.2 Kb) |

Super happy with this magical instrument! Can´t stop playing! Yesterday i even played in a field full of cows haha they seemed to be pretty happy with this unexpected musical surprise and gathered around me(:that really encourages an newly born musician to keep on playing hehe

I am in love with my RAV Vast! I'm so glad I chose the G Pygmy tuning! It is very easy to improvise and there are very few notes that don't sound beautiful following each other. I play a number of instruments, but I've never taken to anything the way I took to this drum! The sound is gorgeous, it looks beautiful, and I really want to play it! I think about playing it while I'm at work and can't wait to get home to sit down and make music! If the price has you in doubt, don't let it! This is easily the most fun instrument I have ever owned, and the ability to just sit down and invent a song off the top of my head is such an incredible feeling!

Wow what a great instrument, it’s tone is so good. And it arrived in 3 working days!!!Loving every stroke of the instrument. The bag is also so good.
it is exactly as the picture and even better. thank you Ravvast for this beautiful instrument. I’ll be back on day for the b Celtic minor |
 The B Kurd is a 9+1 note scale with the Middle-Eastern vibes to it. Being named in honor of Kurdish music culture, the B Kurd recreates the tradition of dramatic and nostalgic melodies that were performed by the bards who traveled between the villages. The additional note provides a big room for improvisation. That’s what makes it a very desired scale for experienced musicians. The B Kurd has a minor voice and amazing cadence of the songs you create with this drum. The B Kurd is great for composing melancholic ethnic songs as well as scary and romantic music. It works perfectly with many RAV Vasts and a whole number of other musical instruments. Thus, if you want to take part in a jam session, this is the right scale to choose. |
|
I ordered a RAV after contemplating on getting one for a long time; let me tell you, it exceeded all of my expectations!! i had high hopes and this product delivered. everything about the experience of ordering was good, and the quality of the instrument itself is just sublime. if you’re wondering, it is worth the price!!! thank you RAV for developing such a unique and lovely instrument.

As a complete drum novice, I was hesitant to start with the Arabian Night because of the information listed in its description...but I fell in love with the beautiful and exotic tones and knew, at the very least, that I would be able to enjoy its sound. Once home, was immediately able to improvise beautiful meditative music and now, a few months later, am beginning to play with the use of a lot of online videos! I am familiar with the sound of Middle Eastern music through my work as a dancer and find it to be a creative challenge to create all different types of moods through this magnificent instrument.
‘This has been one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever given myself...and the ordering process was really very fun. I also want to give a round of applause to the Rav team for answering my questions and preparing my drum for delivery...from Russia to NJ in 3 days door to door!! Amazing!! Thank you!! |
 A late evening in Kyoto is filled in with the sounds of softly touched koto strings, the rustle of kimono silk, and the songs of nightingales. Explore the ocean of magnificent sounds hidden under the azure blue surface of the In Sen RAV Vast! This RAV Vast is tuned in a well-known scale that was originally used in shamisen music that was later adapted for koto. It’s a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument the ancestor of which was Chinese zither. This is the scale with the highest voice ever created by RAV Vast. The In Sen’s sonorous clean voice reminds of wind chimes. The In Sen RAV Vast will catch an eye of intermediate and advanced musicians. This scale has an additional note which provides more opportunities for improvising and composing. |
|
I bought it a few days ago, instantly fell in love with it!
The scale is very different of the others, beautiful sound, own personnality. A real pleasure to play it ! |

Bonjour l'équipe RAV et les futurs acquéreurs,
J'ai reçu avec plaisir mon G Pygmy... Quel merveilleux instrument. Il est vraiment beau et les finitions sont excellentes. Le son qu'il dégage est sublime et envoûtant. Le temps passe vite à jouer dessus. J'ai hésité avec d'autres modèles, mais les vidéos, les avis et le virtual player mon aidé à choisir plus facilement. Étant débutant, j'ai trouvé quelques accords, mais il reste beaucoup à faire pour exploiter mon RAV. Le plus important étant tout d'abord le plaisir de jouer dessus avec des différents rythmes. Du calme de la méditation, en passant par un jeu plus rapide. Les possibilités sont énormes... A travers le toucher et le son du RAV, nous ressentons la passion de RAV de nous proposer une expérience unique. Merci et félicitations pour votre travail et engagement !!! Livraison en seulement 10 jours et impeccablement emballé. Je pense investir dans un trépied afin de pouvoir aussi jouer debout et gagner en mobilité... Celui qui hésite, ne pourra pas être déçu, les amis l'ayant essayés ont été envoûtés. Bon, je retourne sur mon RAV ; ) 20210512_212454_Burst02~2.jpg (1.01 Mb) |
thank you for your feedback! We also appreciate that you notice the difference between your instrument and the picture on the website, we are sorry for it and we have taken it into account. Your RAV PAN is an experimental model, it is very high quality. It is made of Dutch-made Ayasa Steel. Your RAV PAN has the Gu instead of the heartbeat. The Gu is a standard among the handpans. According to the soundcheck, your RAV PAN was tuned well. We have a 5-step check before shipping. The Sympathetic Resonance is the normal feature of each RAV or PAN in that there are similar tones in the different octaves. In some cases, this feature may be heard clearly. In another case, this feature can’t be heard even in the same tuning. Thank you for helping us to improve our work! |

I am absolutely blown away with the beauty and sound of this drum. Everyone that had helped me on here was amazing as well very knowledgeable and helpful and patient. I am In love with this drum. The craftsmanship is flawless. Shipping only took 4 days to get to Pennsylvania too which was crazy I couldn't believe I received my drum today!! I'm extremely grateful!! Those who buy one and don't know though when dhl is ready to bring the item after customs clearing you do have to pay a shopping tax fee which I did not know and dhl only gives you five days luckily I wasn't broke. So I just wanted to add that so others could be prepared. I would highly recommend this drum for anyone who wants to learn how to play an instrument and doesn't think they will be able to because you can't go wrong with whatever note you play!! Thank you so much rav vast team!!!

Nice bag which fits perfectly (without rope braid). Makes the rav vast ready for any roadtrip! Very happy with it.

First off, I did not receive the pan as it is indicated here. It is now made of a different steel, and there are no brass highlights. There is no heartbeat adjuster either.
The sound is acceptable except for the Sympathetic Resonance between the ding (D3) and the D4 note. It is so loud it is overwhelming and the drum feels out of balance. I cannot even strike the D4 note hard enough to make the sound that the resonance makes. Customer service has been good, albeit they take a lot of time to respond - so 24/7 support is misleading. I will probably be returning the drum. |

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 20210428_144424.jpg (2.18 Mb) |

I have Rav Vast D-major for few months now and I am loving it! Really was impressed with the build quality and it's sound, its completely different feeling when you hear it live and when you start playing it 😍
I also got the soft bag, and its sturdy enough to carry and transport your Rav, and also to keep it safe when not in use. Highly recommend getting if you plan to carry your Rav around 🙂 Also, Rav Team was amazing in communication and everything from purchase to delivery went smoothly, it even got to my place (Croatia) a week or 2 earlier then their estimations! P.S: here is one song I composed the other day, enjoy! |
|
I feel its very exciting and grabs your attention immediately! love it but won't be getting this as my first! maybe my second?
|

I've had my D Major Vast for four days, and let me just say...this is one AMAZING instrument!! I cannot put it down! I love this magical instrument so much. I have no percussive background, it is easy to play and sounds wonderful. If you choose this scale, I guarantee you'll instantly fall in love, just as I. Beautiful instrument, I am so happy with it. Thank you so much Andrey and the Rav Vast team!! Amazing job, guys!

My G Pygmy along with the hard case, rope braid and mallets arrived on time and in pristine condition. It's definitely more impressive in person. The quality of the craftmanship is beautiful. I found the video demos helpful in making a scale selection, and the virtual online player well represents the actual tone.
Many thanks to the Rav Vast Team for being so generous with their time to make the ordering a great experience. I am in the USA so needless to say I was quite hesitant to purchase online an instrument I have never seen nor heard in person ... and not to mention I have no musical skills. But, their quick responses to all my emails, informative advisements proved to me the Rav Team believes in providing complete and excellent customer service. Realizing this gave me the confidence to buy the G Pygmy. Good times - thanks to the Rav Team. |

I've been in love with idiophones for a few years now and had the goal of owning a handpan. RAV made it possible with the affordable yet quality pan, I chose the D Celtic Minor and this baby sings. I'm overjoyed to have the opportunity to play such a beautiful instrument and I will definitely be getting another RAVpan or RAVvast. Keep up the great work guys! 👌🏼

So so so happy with my Rav Vast and with the whole buying experience with the team!
It is my first instrument of this kind and I am already in love with playing it. I let my intuition guide me in choosing the tuning and I am very satisfied with it; a deep, slightly melancholic tone yet with notes of hope... that's how it feels to me! The team at Rav Vast was super helpful in the buying process, shipping was faster than expected and just felt really cared for the entire time. If you're still unsure whether to buy or not, go ahead, you WILL NOT REGRET IT! |
|
I have had my E Low Pigmy for about a week now.
This is my first drum and I am really impressed with the quality of this as well as the deep resonating sound. Unfortunately the videos don't do the instrument justice. After watching some of the training tutorials, I feel like I'm definitely making some good progress with playing it. This definitely motivates me to continue to play it as often as possible. I would highly recommend anyone to purchase one. If I can play it, anyone can. |
|
I ordered my first Rav, a G Pygmy, and received it yesterday. The instrument is beautiful in craftsmanship and sound quality. It's so soothing to listen to and play! The resonation is as the name implies... Vast!
The interaction with the company was very quick and pleasant as well. They were kind and quick to respond. I look forward to purchasing more Rav drums in the future. I feel I've developed an expensive habit lol. |

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. mushroom stand copy.JPG (2.59 Mb) |

We bought two of these after falling in love with the sound during sound healing sessions run at our yoga centre by a friend. I made a stand out of an old drum base that just fits underneath snugly and is very stable. Love the fact it plays in A Major and B minor and the pentatonic scales are both there over three octaves! Team at RAV Vast are the best - responsive, encouraging and generous. Highly recommend this RAV Vast model and the purchasing process. With COVID, ordinary postal delays are inevitable so well worth the few extra dollars to ship via DHL Express.

I made several kind of mallets to get various colour of the sounds.
One day I'll use this insrtument in my track and release the album. Meanwhile, i just play it almost everyday and enhance my imagination of the music. This is really good tool to meditate, make myself calm and to expands my ability of music composition. Bravo. IMG_7103.jpg (4.12 Mb) |

Thank you equally for a fantastic product and exquisite customer service.
I come from a family of musicians but have been the black sheep my entire life since I have never learned to play an instrument. Now, with this.... I just know I will and that my soul will take wings doing so. Can't wait for my daughter to come home so we can play it together 1Luv |
|
I just recently got this instrument and I love it! Crystal clear sounds in the notes. Very beautiful color in the metal. Great sounds for meditation or soothing the nerves as well
Thank You rav vast team for your great customer service and dedication to crafting these drums! 20210311_174901_(1).jpg (631.5 Kb) |

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.

Bonjour à toutes l'équipe de RAV VAST, D'abord, je vous félicite pour votre service de communication avant l'achat et de sa livraison. Bonus pour votre nouveau site internet bien documenté avec joueur virtuel et ses démos. Voila, j'ai reçu mon G Pygmy, il y a une semaine et j'en suis très content. Il est envoûtant dans son côté sombre et profond avec l'alternance du jour et de la nuit. Comme vous l'affirmez, il est comparable à un hand pan mais dans un autre univers aussi intéressant. J'ai beaucoup d'hésité dans le choix sur toutes vos gammes. Comme j'ai une préférence pour les notes graves, mon G Pygmy me convient très bien. Par contre, vous faîtes des gammes plus aiguës vraiment sympa comme les trois celtiques en B et D ainsi que les deux majeurs en B et D. J'ai toujours dit que vos steel tongue drum sont la «Rolls-Royce» par les qualités de son et de bonne facture d'instrument de musique. Longue vie à la musique sous toutes ses formes.

Recently received my first ever Rav Vast D celtic minor, really beautiful drum and mystically melodious. I haven't played a handpan or rav ever before, but within an hour I even learnt a pattern and started playing
Shipment was also quite quick to the Netherlands! Special thanks for the Team for answering all my queries before, during and even after the purchase:) Worth saying thanks to Daniel, Vladimir, Nikita and Mariya and their supervisor |
|
finally I have it !! Beautiful sound, fast delivery, very nice cooperation, I highly recommend.

In general, these instruments are amazing in terms of resonantion and tone sustain. The weak spot of this scale (my copy) is tone F3, also E3 is slightly weaker. Mallets are very useful addition (I would definitely recommend them), particularly medium and soft heads, producing wounderful and clear tones across the scale. Medium heads are able to produce wide dynamics range (surprisingly loud!). I can find (personally) only one issue: this new "blue navy" surface finish:
Pros - nice look - no issue with corrosion (it is not necessary to polish regularly with an oil) - surface texture roughness is good for transfer of kinetic energy of fingers or mallets (so, better dynamics) Cons - surface roughness causes: 1. difficult to clean (small particles sticking) 2. when using some special strokes (fist, finger joints), traces remain on the surface - very inconvenient! 3. for studio recording (sensitive condenser mics in a short distance) there is a lot of crispy noise as a result of this type of surface So, I would definitely go for the old and simple type of surface finish, even if there would be a necessity of regular maintenance. |
|
Got my G Pygmy today. Marvelous, simply marvelous. Thank you Rav Vast Team for making such great works of art. Great instrument! I tried it today, the resonance is simply amazing.
I also wanted to thank you for the amazing support in choosing my first Rav Vast and helping me through the whole process. Got the black shirt and cool fluorescent designs and the black bag. Very nice products. 🙏🏼 Thank you to all of you. Kush 07F18321-C2DC-4943-BB12-94EE37844C9F.jpeg (262.7 Kb) |

I absolutely love my B Kurd RAV Vast. The choice of scale was easy for me because melodically and harmonically, I needed to hear that G half step. I listened to all the scales and when I heard the B Kurd, I knew immediately that it was the one for me. The low G half step that completes the scale can provide tension, dissonance, and a broadened harmonic structure. It greatly enhances the musical capabilities of the instrument. It just arrived a couple of days ago and I can't stop playing it! The bright D major and A major chords on the high end balance the overall minor sound in such a satisfying way. My husband loves the rich tone, which is a good thing since he's being subjected to so much of my playing! The Rav Vasts sound great on the recordings I've heard, but the live sound is even more rich and resonant. I'm so happy that it's finally here and totally delighted with mine. It's perfect.

Absolutely in love with this instrument. I had been eyeing a handpan for years and got a tongue drum first since it is so much more affordable. I finally reached the point where I was able to purchase this and it was worth it. The way it looks and sounds is so unlike anything else I haver played on. The bag that it came with is really good quality as well and makes carrying it around much easier. This is easily one of my favorite instruments at this point.

I love my RAV Vast D Major, it makes me just happy to play
Made a video, playing it in the middle of nature in Norway, showcasing the RAV Vast |

My G Pygmy is so much fun to play. I love how the tune of the drum takes me into a different dimension as I strike the mysterious and enchanting tunes. The shipping was super fast and you’re able to track its route towards you.

Hi, I'm a Guitarist and I play a lot of other instruments and I'm always looking for instruments with which you can't go wrong... But the main thing, I was looking for the right, real, special instrument for the woman I love. She plays a little bit guitar, a little bit djembe but there's always a little bit of stress in her mind, when she plays the guitar. Because you can always make a mistake, can play false tones ... And I tried so much also with open tuning and much more, but there is always a bit of a feeling, that it's not so easy to play a instrument. And then, at a birthday celebration of a very good friend, there was this RAV Vast Drum. My girl was the whole evening totally lost in the space of the RAV. So next day I came to the wonderful, beautiful webpage of ravvast and were stunning about the virtual player, which sounds with my speakers exactly like the real RAV drum. The support, everything was so perfect and friendly, wonderful Videos, I had immediately the feeling of "coming home". So I checked the tuning and ordered the RAVVAST, and then I was a little bit shaky... RAV from Russia?? Such a long way. Could this work? But there was no question open. The guys packed it and gave it free for shipping in NO TIME and I was able to track the parcel. There was nothing I had to worry about. The moment, the big parcel came to my house was like christmas and new year together. (It was the 31.12:) Perfect packing, so nothing can really happen to the RAV in this parcel. The RAV was so perfect tuned and it gives so much pleasure, so much joy to everybody who plays but also the people around who listen. The sound goes deep into the mind and body, into your heart (if you like). I can't compare with any other instrument. So now we play a lot together, I tuned my Guitar in the scale of the RAV B Celtic minor and I love this tuning. And yesterday we played four people together and we had the RAV, Guitars, Shruti Box, Voices, Trombone, Double Bass, Djembes... and had a lot of fun and touching moments together, most of the time in the Scale of the RAV, but it's also compatible with some other chords ...
So, the story goes on and on. The sound of the RAV with my guitar is so wonderful, they sound so great together like our voices. My story of the RAV is a Lovestory ... Thank you so much RAVVAST-Team MyRav.jpg (580.72 Kb) |

I just received my F Pygmy handpan and I have been playing for 3 hours! I'm so happy, and I want to thank everyone at Rav, from the creator artisans to the wonderful customer service representatives. I really appreciate that you provide such an exceptional quality for an affordable price. I've wanted to play handpan for over 10 years and you have made it possible. Thank you

Good morning world! Rav Vast is the most wonderful instrument I have known and touched. I've never played an instrument. I'm a beginner, but it's wonderful to learn new melodies. One of my dreams has come true. I have Rav Vasta Marmara - these are unique sounds that calm me down and give me a sense of security. Now I'm collecting money to buy a course. Thank you for what you are doing. |
|
Just got my order last night. I've been playing it all night. The sound is very warm and the scale is very approachable and inviting. This is my first rav vast drum and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in this product. Very high level of craftsmanship and quality! Thank you so much!

The beauty of these drums is literally breathtaking. They look like some sort of precious extra terrestrial technology, so slick and perfect. The sound doesn't compare to that of any other instrument, and is way more beautiful than the sounds produced by the virtual player on this website. I recommend this drum 100%.
|
|
Words cannot describe how I felt the moment I first heard this instrument almost 2 years ago. I always knew I was going to end up purchasing it. Fast forward to December of 2020 and I was finally able to realize the dream of owning it and honestly it is crazy how much better it is in person than in the already impressive videos of people playing it. It calms and centers me in a way I can't explain yet makes me feel like I'm in a magical forest surrounded by all sorts of critters and faeries. I am eternally grateful for how much this has changed my life for the better and also I'm very grateful for the RAV Vast Team that has been always very helpful through the process.

Great instrument. feels good to play and has a great sound. totally worth the price. just buy one if you're considering, you won't regret it.
I feel like this is also a very good scale for beginners. |

I have recently bought an A Marmara Rav vast. Every step of the process from purchasing to tracking (one week door to door delivery) to arrival in a well packaged box was super easy and stress free. These guys seem to be running a really professional business. If you are tempted to buy any Rav vast from them, rest assured and take the plunge. As for the drum itself, it is excellent build quality and finish and each note is in perfect tune. The A marmara scale seems basically like an A major 7 chord (A, C#, E, G# with 2 octaves with a beautiful sounding high D# in the scale as well). I am definitely more of a minor preferring person but this scale is far from just major sounding. The resonance and seemingly endless lingering tones give this scale a melancholic, mystical and almost haunting sound. In summary, I am extremely pleased i took the plunge and look forward to many hours of sitting and exploring the beautiful sounds this drum produces. If you still can't decide, all I can say is, you won't be disappointed whatever scale you decide to get. Ravs kick ass! (Drum purchased Nov 2020)

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 IMG_20201203_151428.jpg (425.94 Kb) |

I really needed the bag, because i want to have the Rav with me everywhere i go. And... oh boy i love it!
I highly recommend getting a bag (of any kind really. Just so you can easily travel with the Rav) I dont have any problems with it being too small, but i also dont have a braid around my Rav... yet. |
|
Thanks RAV team. The delivery was quick and uncomplicated! You answered my questions quickly. The drum was well received due to the safe packaging.
I fell in love with this instrument when I heard it for the first time on YouTube. I'm totally unmusical and the price of this drum is shocking. So, I decided to try the Kosmosky drum first. One year later, I fullfilled my dream of the RAV drum. And it is so amazing. The sound of G Pygmy is incredible. It is so easy to play with fingers. No comparison. Thanks, thanks, thanks. I can really recommend the instrument and the shop! |
 A folding wooden stand for storing and playing your RAV. Works with any RAV Vast and RAV Pan. It was designed to give you the best playing experience: nothing blocks the sound like if you would place it on your knees, and you can enjoy the most clear and authentic RAV Drum sound in a way it was meant to be heard. Comes with a black bag |

I bought the B kurd and it arrived only about 5 days later.
I love the instrument:)) Its fantastically crafted and sounds so beautiful! Highly recommend it. Also shout out to the CS team from the Rav Vast store. Great service you get when you need help! |
|
I got my B Kurd two weeks ago... ahhh, much to say! That's a real piece of art, indeed. It's carved with much precision and beautifully painted. That brass ring around really puts the finishing touches, wonderful!
Its sound is just amazing!! So deep, melodic and long-lasting. While hitting the center note you feel your whole body vibrating that makes you close your eyes. That's a cure for all diseases. Really easy to play - it all goes intuitively. I think there is no wrong way to play it and that makes it so cool. Just like "grab and enjoy!". If you read this and still hesitate, don't think too much... just get one! Thank you Rav Vast Team for delivering me a New Friend! Love, Chris |

yes doesn't fit with he braid needs to be a bit bigger

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. Rav 4 image.jpg (485.34 Kb) |

I love the sound of this drum! I tried out a bunch of different ones on this webpage. Love the virtual player were you can try out them all before buying. I knew straight away that I wanted something in a minor tone. I come from a heavy metal/punk background and I always want a little minor in my music. The B Celtic brought the right amount of mystic into the sound. Fantastic instrument and I recommend it to everyone. The customer support is amazing as well.

It is a really intuitive and fun scale to play. The sound is really warm and lush. If rain drops could dance they would dance to the rhythm of the vast pygmy

My first vast drum and I absolutely love the sound! Although I haven't compared to other scales, I'd say this is great for beginners, as it's easy to start creating beautiful music almost no matter how you hit the notes. I've had my drum for almost two months now and I'm extremely satisfied! The blue coating on the new drums protects the drum really well from humidity and suchlike and the drum itself looks like a piece of art! For anyone practicing mindfulness, this is a must have - it's so easy to be present and focused when playing and the sound has a really calming effect. Many thanks for a great product and service! Already looking to buy my second drum.

Nicely made case but too tight. Cannot fit my Rav with the rope braid. Have to remove it to use the case. Ultimately reverted to using an old drum cymbal case. Rope braid is nice and tight so it’s hard to remove and replace every time I use the case. So.... could you make them a bit larger to accommodate the drum with the rim braid?

I've had this wonderful instrument for over a month and I'm absolutely in LOVE with it. It's the first instrument I own and I've never played one before. I did try a Hang drum which got me interested, but the RAV Vast has a better sound that stays longer.I find it very intuitive, pretty much anywhere you hit it, it sounds good. Of course, the more you practice, the more things you discover.
There's a lot of tutorials, free and paid, but you can have so much fun if you just improvise! The lower notes sound very meditative, it's very calming. And the higher notes sound beautiful and combine in such a way that you can play something slow and switch to a faster rhythm in a quite harmonious way. I ordered it from Canada and it got here in less than two weeks! That was a very nice surprise. It comes very well protected too. Can't wait to get better and order my next one |
|
I'm absolutely in love with my Rav Vast B Rus.
The shipment was insanly fast to Germany and also the support of the team is really good. The quality of the Drum itself and also the Sound is just amazing. I will definitely have some good times with the drum, thank you very much! |
|
I have my D major for a week now and Im totally in love! I also have a good quality big steel tongue drum from another manufacturer tuned in 432hz, and rav vast is so sooo much better in every way. Sound is just amazing and sooo clear! There is only one really bad thing - now I'm dreaming about having at least two more scales 😣 By the way, think well before buying, because its super super addictive! 👽

Just received on yesterday Fine tuning (that I’ve immediately verified) and really delicious sound…. Very impressed. My consideration: Comparing Rav Vast ( which is a steel tongue drum) to traditional handpans I’ve immediately noted that he guarantees a sound with much more sustain compare the other instruments I don’t know the reason why, may be it is related to my fingers touch or maybe to particular design of the producer…who may says ? Then, let me spend few words about Rav Staff: Great (Top) service, fast and detailed delivery, kind and prompt assistance for everything 100% Satisfied. Thank you guys for all. To who those are reading this msg. let me says : do not hesitate, if you try it, you will get it ! |

Благодарю команду RAV за этот удивительный инструмент и удобную доставку! Звук RAV Vast B Kurd затрагивает до глубины души, словно погружая в космос.
Сам инструмент выглядит невероятно красиво: ярко-синего цвета, покрытие очень приятное на ощупь, узор язычков просто волшебный. Доставка прошла благополучно, заказ пришёл уже через неделю. Никаких изъянов нет, всё просто идеально. Вместе с инструментом заказали сумку-чехол. Недостатков в нём тоже нет, всё максимально удобно и практично. RAV Vast B Kurd стал для меня незаменимым другом, с которым можно расслабиться, помедитировать и забыть о плохом настроении. Услышав его в первый раз, я сразу влюбилась в его магическое звучание и поняла, что эта настройка именно та, которая мне нужна. Для тех, кто не знает с чего ему начать и какую настройку выбрать, я советую прослушать мелодии всех и выбрать ту, звучание которой отзовётся в душе, заставляя её трепетать. Уверена, что если вы выберете Kurd, он вас не подведёт. Ещё раз говорю огромное спасибо команде RAV за их чудесную работу и желаю ей дальнейшего развития, процветания и всего хорошего! |
 B Kurd универсальная настройка с дополнительным язычком. Её звучание приправлено восточными специями, а названа она в честь курдов, средневосточного народа. Это достаточно простая и интуитивная настройка. Этот RAV идеально подходит для начинающих. А если у вас уже есть навыки игры на RAV Drum, B Kurd приятно удивит вас своими возможностями. У этой настройки нет никаких ограничений |
|
First time with a Rav, and first time with a drum by the way. I'm a harpist and wanted to try something different, a friend that i can bring with me in the forest. Well, the Rav is not light as a feather, but quite much than my harp 😁. It's really beautiful, and sounds wonderfully.
And for those who are musicians, it's good to note that it's perfectly tuned. Thanks to all the team for this awesome piece of art ! |
|
The B Celtic minor sounds awesome. If you strike it hard it will resonate for a longer time and the "ding" is louder. If you strike it slow it will relax the whole room
. I need to mention this is my first RAV and also that I am a beginner in music - I do not know how to play but I can still make relaxing sounds. The steel is of good quality and the packaging is awesome - it looks like it would still be intact after a 2 story drop so do not worry about transport damage. The small tongues are harder to make them resonate and the sound is not sustained as long as the center note for example ( because the vibration is attenuated faster ) but this is to be expected, I believe. If this is your first instrument please be aware of the actual size of it I was quite surprised of the size and weight. All in all the sound is beautiful and I would recommend as a first RAV IMG_20200930_124551.jpg (1.77 Mb) |

I absolutely love my FPygmy handpan! I can’t put it down! I researched the makers and decided to go with
Rav Pan. I was looking for African, mysterious tunes to make. This handpan is everything I wanted. It’s complex and gives me challenges every day. And the payoff is always great! I play/practice it every day. I signed up for lessons online and it opened up the world of possibilities! Highly recommend this maker. Shipping was secure and fast 5-6 days and well packed! Thank you for my new adventure, Rav! |

After being absolutely mezmerized by these instruments for almost a decade. It was always practically impossible to figure out where i could purchase one. I wet to tons of music stores and they laughed when i asked where i could find one and usually said "good luck ever seeing one in person" Due to their price point and dificulty finding sellers. RAV PANS Digital player really helps a lot to help decide what key resonates with you. Making a big purchase like this can be nerve racking if you never get to play it first. I can say with experience. The digital player is extremely accurate. I Absolutely love my RAV PAN. Everyone is always so fascinated when they hear it and ask a million questions and customer service has been amazing.
RAV PAN B CELTIC MINOR 11/10 Most magical Instrument i own. Thank YOU RAV VAST!!!! |

This my second RAV drum, once again I'm impressed! My first RAV was the RAV B RUS which is not compatible with the D Celtic minor. However both drums are totally different, with different vibes & styles which will be relevant when playing a show or song writing. I do enjoy D Celtic, but for me personally I find it a bit tricky to use. From my experience its really center note driven, but that's probably just my style. I definitely feel that this RAV would really shine paired another RAV (compliment scale of course).
The melodies are distinct and enchanting, but I have a lot to learn and grow. But time is my greatest weapon. My RAV B RUS, the melody just flows for me, any position I can improv something instantly. I would recommend D Celtic minor, I think its worth it. Overall RAV's service and quality are 10/10. Honestly I don't think RAV can make a bad product. Also buy the rope braids, they protect the rim & look really cool at the same time. |
|
Both the looks and the music that the instrument possess is mesmerizing, just like all RAV Vast scales.
I personally chose this scale because it offers the greatest diversity both in number of tones and tonal structure. It allows you to play free-style and meditation-wise but it also contains a great base of chords and progressions for more standard song-like melodies. One can also manage to create a lot of song covers on this scale. On the technical side, the RAV Vast support team were excellent for communication and the item arrived in quite fast. All in all, if you are looking for that one RAV instrument which will be both a challenge and pleasure, I highly recommend the B Kurd. |
|
I am really happy with my D Celtic Minor-
Playing the hand pan too, I must say the Vast is even more mystic, with an amazing long sustain. A wonderful, beautiful looking instrument. |
|
from Japan
I love RAV Vast, I am grad to meet B Kurd Its lovely, very dear and fantastic instrument. |
|
I received the B Kurd Rav yesterday. Within 24 hours I was able to play very pleasing tunes. I am a beginner, yet was surprised at the beautiful melodies I could create. This drum seems to be doing all the work for me!!!!
Also, I can't say enough good things about the staff/team. They certainly kept me informed as to shipping time. And, they are eager to supply a person with every manner of help in learning to play their drums. My B Kurd Rav looks like a museum-worthy piece of art. This Company is everything a business SHOULD be. |
|
I'm really happy with the D Celtic Minor and would definitely recommend this scale to anyone considering it. I picked this scale because others advised that the Celtic scales are good for beginners, and after listening to countless videos of the different scales, this is the one that stood out to me the most. I enjoy the bright sound of this scale and it has been intuitive as someone with no percussive experience and very little knowledge of music theory in general. After a few hours of playing, it already sounded great fr om some basic improvisation.
I consider the price of the RAV Vast to be a steal. I stumbled upon the RAV Vast when I was originally looking at the handpan but turned off by its price. Despite being a fraction of the cost, the RAV Vast has an extremely rich sound that in my opinion is just as good as a handpan (just different). It is leagues ahead of any other tongue drums that I've heard. I ordered the RAV Vast with DHL shipping (which was on sale at the time of purchase) and it only took 9 days to arrive. It arrived in perfect condition with no issues. Customer support has been very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the D Celtic Minor scale and the RAV Vast in general to anyone who is remotely interested. If you are at the point wh ere you're reading reviews, I can guarantee that you're going to buy one. |
|
My RAV Celtic Minor arrived yesterday. I am so pleased about the super service, beginning from the order and the communication with the rav team. The instrument was super well packed, and arrived within 5 days. It is really more than beautiful & the sound and sustain is way above my expectations- thank you, I am super happy.
|
|
These drums sound great, they can produce both clear volume and subtle dynamics with ease. the B kurd scale is nice you can find some minor 9 darkness in there is you zig zag around, you can find an arabian dissonance with a different zigzag but there is also a lot of uplifting almost carribean chords available too. I love it! I willprobablly purchase another scale in a year or so
i want more! |
|
I would like to thank the rav team for the grat work they are doing. Mine B Celtic Minor arrived in 5 days after it was purchased. Rugged package, no way to harm the drum in any way during transportation.
The drum itself looks amazing. The sound is beautiful. The whole thing screams to be played. IMG_20200830_160502.jpg (1.75 Mb) |
 The F Pygmy is a supreme and the most precious drum in all the RAV Pan collection. Being the hardest scale to produce, this drum has experienced a hundred of hammer strikes to get its amazing sound. The F Pygmy recreates the best of handpan drum sound being much more affordable. It’s a perfect scale for advanced musicians who can apply all their skills for composing and improvisation. The sound of the scale is mellow and lush. It belongs to African culture and provides the vibes of tribal music. The drum dimples are tuned in 3rd, 4th and 5th octave. In addition to classic 9 notes on the top it has 2 extra membranes on the bottom providing musician a greater room for creation. It is great to play on its own and pairing with other handpans and tongue drums. This scale is great for therapy, stress relief and meditation, it provides a contemplating mood. When you purchase the RAV Pan you also get a hard case to ease the transporting. |
|
I’ve picked up this scale for my sound healing studio. People come to relax, unwind and heal their mind and bodies. I like the B Celtic because I can easily create some simple patterns that take the people instantly into a meditative state. The B Celtic is unbelievably harmonious! I often have a few patterns ready to involve into my session, but I usually just let the drum lead me through and new grooves are being created just at the moment of playing. I am looking at the participants and understand what they actually need at the current moment - whether I should provide them a more happy and uplifting mood or give them more relaxation and tranquility. And I can do it both with the same RAV B Celtic Minor! Incredible instrument! I sometimes combine it with the singing bowls or tuning forks, but recently I started to think the RAV’s sound is good enough as it is and do not even need any accompaniment. I am totally in love with the sound and my clients love it too! RAV also has the B Celtic Minor handpan - maybe will take it as my next drum! |
|
Great drum and so harmonious! I’ve been looking for an instrument that wouldn’t make me spend hours of learning and I found one. RAV Vast has such a great variety of sounds! Hard to pick up one. I tried their Virtual Player (a really useful tool, though) and was choosing between the B Celtic and the D Celtic. I like the Celtic scale, it already sounds nice, do you actually can play without thinking or having this frustrating feeling you are playing off-key. At the end I chose the B Celtic because I like it higher and more gentle pitch. I love the bottom notes a lot, especially B3 with which I usually end up all the melodies. Also about the RAV Vast 2 B Celtic Minor. I was a little bit confused about this 2 that some people call to be a second version (and is usually considered as a better version) and of course I wanted to be sure I am buying the second version. It’s some small misunderstood as their customer support explained to me. There’s actually no choice between the 1st or 2nd version. The drum was renovated and got a new protective blue paint coat. You can see the difference between these new sky-blue shining drums (that are a little bit matty) and the older version without paint (glossy and not that blue) Now all the RAV Vasts that are available on their website are of the 2nd generation. So you can keep calm you get the best option of the RAV Vast drum when shopping at their official website (or their partner stores). |

I found these drums on Youtube. I just received mine yesterday. B celtic minor. Beautiful warm sounds with hands or louder with mallets. Everybody there was so helpful. The drum came very well packaged with a Styrofoam bowl to protect it and the Box was wrapped with packing straps. The malllet case is a cute little canvas covered cardboard case with the loop for hanging. The braided rope came and a nice little reusable bag. I have a bed back so it's hard for me to sit and play. So I used the Styrofoam bowl to place the drum and hold it still. I am so happy to have this as it brings me much peace and this crazy world. Hoping to get some more and the future. You should buy one! Really Awesome Vibrations RAV!!

My G Pygmy scale is my favorite RAV drum so far! I was actually surprised by their extremely fast shipping (the drum are produced in Russia and came to Rotterdam in around 9-10 days). The drum arrived in a firmly packed box (it took a bit of work to open it!) all protected with foam plastic and was all safe and sound. Couldn’t stop myself from playing it right away. The quality is reckless. The average tank drums are not even close to the quality of the RAV vast. My G Pygmy has a thick and warm sound and is very very mystical. Somehow it reminds me of voodoo magic:) A few times a week I go to a park in my neighbourhood and play my G Pygmy there. It always attracts so much attention! I can understand why people call it spacedrum music. The sound is so unusual and very catchy! I’m happy I had a chance to buy a spacedrum haha! |
|
I love my RAV drum G Pygmy! It totally corresponds to my mood - it’s serious and solid. And I love this very natural sound it provides! Seems like you get back to wild nature when you are playing it. This drum is super-easy to play. I’ve found so many cool progressions so far! And I can see there’s still so much to learn. The youtube tutorials helped me a lot. I really feel like the drum itself gives me a cue of which note to tap the next. The note progressions are harmonious all the way around. No need to think up all the melody in advance - you can improvise and play intuitively easily - it will still sound good! I also ordered the mallets (they give such a deep and loud sound, especially the black puffy ones) and I actually like playing both mallets and hands depending on what kind of sound I want to get. |
|
I received my RAV drum in D Major yesterday and have played for hours already! There is simply no way I can describe the beauty of this instrument - words cannot do it justice. The sound can be mellow or bright, relaxing or uplifting, thoughtful or joyous. The harmonies are indescribable - that you can get such complexity of sound with the simplest strokes is astonishing. For decades, I have loved Celtic melodies and relaxing instrumental solos, and now, I can play such music effortlessly! It is a magnificent instrument to improvise on, since you cannot hit a wrong note.
From a physical standpoint, the RAV drum is sturdily built and perfectly tuned. It is also an exquisite work or art in its own right. The RAV team is tremendously responsive and helpful; I was thrilled to receive my RAV - from Russia to the US - in less than a week. It is packaged well to ensure that it arrives in "mint condition." My thanks to the RAV team for this dream come true! |
 Like a soft lullaby of a siren swinging on the blue sea waves, the sound of the A Marmara is serene and soothing. This is a minor scale that was named after Marmara Island and has the softest sounds of all the RAV drums. The handpan and tongue drum music is usually associated with slow minor melodies. If you are searching for the same feel, the A Marmara will be your dreams-come-true-instrument. The A Marmara is a very special scale as it gives you access to the notes no other RAV Vast is able to give to you. However, this scale can be played by literally anyone regardless the mastery level and it will excite both beginners and advanced musicians. |
|
I’ve been looking for a scale tuned in A key and was thinking of the A Integral vs A Marmara but A Marmara sounded much more harmonious to me so I ended up taking this scale. Thanks to their Virtual player - you can try to play any of their drums online and choose the best rav drum scale. The A Marmara also had this sort of integral feel so I decided at the end I will get 2 scales in 2 A Maramara. I like its melancholic introspective sound and the romantic name too! |
|
A week after receiving my Rav Vast in B Major, I am really very happy to have chosen this scale. It makes me peaceful, it invites meditation. I love the heat and the light that emanate from it. I already had a tonguedrum, but the Rav outclasses it by far. My relatives are won over by the sound, the beauty of the instrument. Thank you to the whole team for the answers to my many questions!

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!

I've been a professional musician for over 20 years (bassist) and I cannot underestimate how fun this drum is to play! Within moments of picking it up I was improvising grooves, melodies and just having a blast. After being seating on the floor and playing it for 20 minutes I stood up and could feel the tones of the drum resonating in my body. It's a meditative experience to practice this instrument and if you sit with it on the floor, it's a great hip opener too! It's a beautiful piece of art and craftsmanship that just so happens to make gorgeous sounds. Buy one already!

The B Kurd spoke to me. I am born Kurd so it was an obvious choice. I don't have to B Kurd, I am Kurd:). National shennanigans aside, it doesn't exactly take me to the Middle east whilst playing. It does however create a beautiful atmosphere, very music-therapy-like. It is very different from any other instrument I have encountered during my decade of playing instruments. I have still much to explore and learn with this crazy metal drum. Highly recommended.
|
|
Brilliant instrument! The quality and attention to detail is superb. The scale itself is beautiful with both dark and light aspects to it, and a bigger variety of notes than most other scales. I also have a handpan and this RAV easily rivals it in sound.
|
|
I have my E pygmy rav for some weeks now.. It has been all that i had hoped for and still just getting better. A beautiful design, a stunning sound. Bit more heavy then expected, but steady. It does not fit together with all casual music for a jam, but it is really great for a space out and to discover what it does mix well with. Even though on itself it is an absolute pleasure of sounds. When you do not know what to do it is easy to get a great sound, but also when you get more skills there are still plenty of possibilities of using this instrument and enjoying new things and music coming out creating even more depth to it! I love the depth of sound in this specific pan. And also the rav vast in general has a lovely resonance. If you want to play together a lot with other more usual instruments maybe consider a more available tuning. For those who love playing by themselves this is especially relaxing! Good travel service.

This scale is my first RAV vast. As well described in the official review, it's a scale you can begin with and progress but the G3 key is sometimes tricky to put into improvisation, but once you understand how it's works, it give you a beautiful and mystical oriental vibe. The 6 uppers keys + the ding (the central one) are really easy to mash up together and give you occidental melodies. In my opinion it's a very versatil scale that's allows you to play both oriental melodies and occidental ones. I trully love it. Finally I'm leaning to play it fast and percussively but also in a relaxing/meditative way, and it match in both style !
Now let me tell you a story : I received my RAV vast in the beginning of May 2020. After a couple of day of playing, i've noticed a strange harmonic. I've sent a video to the rav team. They quickly answered me that the drum needed to be repaired. I've sent it back to them and they payed the shipping cost. Then few times passed and they told me that the drum has been damaged during transport.... and it couldn't be repaired. So they've sent me back a whole new RAV B Kurd perfectly tuned ! RAV a brand you can trust ! 5 stars for the instrument 5 stars for the customer service |
|
Before I get started, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to youtube. Check out Ricky Hillson's channel REWILDYOURSOUL. His videos are fantastic for anyone looking to get into RAV, or anyone who already plays RAV.
This is my first RAV drum and it won't be my last. It took one week from Russia to USA, that's fast! The RAV was well packed, arrived flawless. Its ready to play right out of the box. I've played a lot of RAV'S thanks to Ricky Hillson. Every RAV I've played is top notch quality. I feel RAV is the BEST OF THE BEST tongue drum. It's built like a tank, RAV is made to last. The sustain is just right. I've been playing guitar for 24yrs & drums for 14yrs. I came to this instrument with a short learning curve. Its really easy to learn for experienced musicians and even for a total beginner with no musical experience will see results relatively quick, but it will take time to master. For my own I style I mostly play slow relaxing melodic style, this is the perfect drum for me. However this model has tons of range and versatility. Ok let's get to the price, is it worth it? Yes. I bought a drum from GUDA $584 its good, but its not great. After playing RAV I don't want the GUDA drum anymore. RAV its PRO quality which will instantly improve your playing. I played RAV at my local open mic, I know first hand the power of RAV. I was met with a decent applause. I am impressed with RAV quality, customer service, and RAV performance. Thank you so much RAV drums, I will be back! I hope my review helps someone out there. Stay well |

The delivery was much faster than expected and it arrived safely.
In general, playing the rav is absolutely incredible. It's like I'm falling into some kind of trance while playing. It's also an instrument which is pretty easy to learn. It's possible to play beautiful melodies on the first day of owning a rav. The tuning B Celtic Minor specifically is really awesome for Beginners. Every tone sounds harmonical with every other tone and you can basically do whatever you want to and it will sound good. |

Recieve today very Happy Thankyou Rav Team again👍

I bought the B celtic a few months ago and fell in love with it right away. The sound is very mystical, exactly what I was looking for. I do not have any experience with instruments, the drum is very easy to play. Its not hard to compose a tune of your liking. I am super happy with the instrument

 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. |

I have already gotten a Rav Vast B Kurd previously and wanted to get something with a similar broad range that went well with the Kurd and after listening and playing the virtual player i came across the Rus and instantly fell in love with it and upon getting it I can only say that it fullfilled my expectations and more. Besides being a very easy scale to play with as all the notes match (and i do mean any combination) it also has a versaatile range resultion in very unique sound patterns and can go from peaceful to melancholy in seconds. i would honetly recomend this as a starter as any other Rav you get will match with this and it also matcheswell with normal instruments and alows for all styles of play. Thanks for making such amazing instruments Guys!

These mallets are supper cool and well made. Each of the three heads gives a different sound effect and is so fun! We got a second set so both of us have two to use. I love the big fluffier mallet it gives a lush, defused reverb sound. The small rubber one give a clean, precise sound. And the smaller wool mallet is louder and clearer than the large but not as pingy and the rubber.
Very cool addition to playing with hands. Especially nice for a beginner that doesn’t have as much dexterity or variety of sounds with hands only. |
|
The RAV braids are really nice. The Ravs are slick and kind of heavy and the rope makes it easy to hold when you’re carrying it around. The braided rope is really well-made and sturdy but it’s not rough on your hands when you’re playing. It covers the cold rim and protects your hands.
The braids are a beautiful macramé design and it’s nice you can get different colors if you have a different Ravs and it’s easy to tell them apart. I think that the rope braid would make a really good meditation belt when you’re sitting and meditating, like it can support your knees it’s really nice and sturdy. |
 Decorative rope braid to give your RAV Drum a special look. Hand-washing only. The temperature should not exceed 30° Celsius. Possible shrinkage after a wash. |

We have 3 vasts and this is my favorite. I love the scale. It’s lovely for making dyads or melodies. I love the double ding which gives just a little extra reach to a melody. I’m able to play many different melodies easily on this scale. I can play Tibetan melodies on this vast or improvise very easily. They are all wonderful instruments but this one just aligns with my heart’s song. We’re so very pleased with all of our Rav vasts, the tones, scales and craftsmanship are excellent.
|
|
We love the deep sonorous sound of the E Low Pygmy. It is great as an accompaniment for other vasts or other instruments. It’s great to just enjoy its lush long notes or to pound a low rhythm on. It shifts my mood or helps me get emotions out. It is soothing or rhythmic. Easy to play and enjoy.

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. |
|
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 |

I have a handpan but every since I saw a ravvast drum being played, I fell in love with it. Finally, I got the B celtic minor and it arrived today.
It's the most magic sound!!! A beautiful instrument, the details are incredible and it sounds even better in person. Though I have a handpan like I mentioned above, I didn't practice very much and I consider myself a beginner. This scale is very easy to start playing right away. The drum literally crossed the globe to get here in Brazil and the rav team were very helpful and nice through the whole process. I'm really out of words to describe my satisfaction and I can definitely see myself getting other ravs in the future. IMG_20200714_202521_048.jpg (3.26 Mb) |
 The B Arabian Night is the scale that will fill you up with Middle East flair. Get the feeling of the rustling sand of the deserted nights filled in with the sickly-sweet taste or the 1001 Night Tales. The scale reproduces the Arabic Maqam – the traditional system of melodic modes and improvisation techniques. The Arabian Night scale has its own very specific voice that differs from the rest of RAV drums (although it can have some sound similarities with B Onoleo). The tongues are tuned in 2nd, 3rd and 4th octave with the central Ding in B2. The B Arabian Night is not a versatile scale but it adds a very unique flavour to your playing. This step can be tricky for a beginner but the advanced players will find it captivating as it has a lot of half-steps and is more open-ended when you are playing. This is one of the most popular scales to record music videos and it’s definitely good for meditative play. |

Do I ever love my Rav drums. I will spare the story of the first time I heard a street musician in Barcelona playing one and how captivated I was. I got my first (DMajor) in Feb 2020 as a brain stretching exercise. Something I do every year is to pick something I know absolutley ZERO about and stretch my brain, body and thinking...but it does have to be something that I think i will love. My Febuary purchase was love and first strike. I then bought a B Celtic Double Ding for my south residence. Both are versatile and "easy" to learn. I have taking lessons with David Charrier's Master the Rav Vast course EXCELLENT!
When i heard the Arabian Night I had to have it, and with the sale that was going on during Covid I couldn't pass it up. This is scale is NOT as easy. But the sound is amazing. I am learning my way around it and am delighted I bought it. If you are on the fence about getting RAV go for it, I doubt you will be disappointed! |

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 RAV DRUM.jpg (1.28 Mb) |

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! 🛸👌🏼🤙🏼✌🏼 IMG_4261.jpg (1.16 Mb) |

I play a couple of instruments, but this one cannot be compared to any of the others instruments I have learned. With this rav vast being my first to ever play, I was and am still today completely amazed by the sound. It immediately calmes me down and brings me into a meditative state. It is truly magical. When people hear it, it's almost like they're drawn to it... to listen to the sound, to stop speaking and to listen, to try it out themselves. Even for musically unexperienced people this instrument makes it easy for them to create their own magical sound. Children also love it.
It made the most special birthday gift for my husband and we can't stop playing it. I have to especially thank the crew that created and is sharing such a magical instrument... it really brings so much joy to the heart. Thanks to all of you guys for making it possible that it is shared with the world! With any questions, I was helped quickly and very very politely via Email. Thank you for the great customer support. Be blessed and please keep spreading these beautiful tunes. |

I just received my Rav drum in the mail and was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship of this beautiful instrument. Due to Covid, shipping was quite delayed but it was well worth the wait. I can't wait to learn how to play it! Thank you!
|
|
The whole process from selection to delivery is excellently supported by the Rav team.
The instrument itself is a wonderful experience while playing it, admiring it and listening to it. Have in mind that all the instructions when it comes to choosing a Rav are more or less subjective and hard to put accurately into words. So, listen as many different types of scales and ways of playing and try to answer the question what would you like to do most of the time on your Rav. rav2.jpg (207.4 Kb) |

とても簡単に楽しく、じぶんの感性のまま演奏できます。一台で音楽が完成しますし、いつかはセッションを楽しめたらいいなと思います。スタッフの方々には、到着まで丁寧にご連絡をいただきました。世界的な情勢により、急遽、荷物が届かない状態になりましたが、私のお問い合わせに対して、経由する国を教えてくれたので、安心して到着を待つことごできました。
いろんな場所で、演奏してみたいと思います。ありがとうございます。 |

Their service is really great! I got the answers to all the questions (and I had a LOT of them) and the CS team explained to me everything I wanted to know. Incredible drum as well! I’ve been looking for an easy-to deal-with scale that will give me more musical options. The Arabian Night seemed too specific and complicated to me and I still wanted to have the drum with those exotic vibes. So I was recommended to take the B Kurd and never regret it! The drum is so amazing! It’s marked as a scale for medium-leveled musicians, but I decided to take a risk of choosing it to be my first tongue drum. Now as I am learning the patterns and techniques. I am thinking about taking the D Major next to pair it! |
|
This is my first ever Rav Vast drum and, coming from a piano background, picking it up wasn't hard at all! It makes me feel so calm and peaceful whenever I play it, and it's great to brainstorm ideas for my DnD sessions or my writing for stories and books. Seriously, this is a great instrument and I love it so much!

I've had my B Major Rav for just about a month now, but it has been such an extraordinary series of discoveries with it already. I'd watched so many videos before it arrives, but nothing can really prepare for you just how beautiful this instrument really is until you are playing it yourself. The deep resonance of the notes, the incredible tone, how responsive it is. The harmonic possibilities. I've been collecting percussion instruments from all over the world for decades, but within days it was clear that this was the most special one yet. The B Major scale really feels like a good place to start for me, the best instrument for its warm overtones and overall brightness of melody. This is an instrument of the highest craftsmanship and aural delights. I couldn't be more pleased with it--or the ways the the Rav team stays in touch or reaches out to you.

I thought I would be spending weeks for choosing which RAV Vast to buy. All the scales were so great, it was hard to choose only one. Thankfully there’s a RAV Virtual player where you can try to play all the scales one by one and decide on the sound you like the most. I instantly fell in love with the B RUS. And I was happy to find out afterwards that this scale provides some flexibility in sound. A great piece of news for those like me who never played any instrument before and don’t know which playing style and sound I prefer haha! It also resulted to be slightly cheaper than an average RAV Vast and was a nice bonus too! |
|
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. |
|
There are no words!! The sound of this drum is so gorgeous & hypnotic! I knew it would be, but my mind is totally blown hearing it in person. These sounds are truly soul stirring. The attention to detail in the carving of this drum to create the tones is pristine. I can't wait to see where my journey with my first Rav drum takes me. A huge THANK YOU to the team of RAV Vast elves for adding more sound and beauty to the world! Cheers

I received this awesome tongue drum about a week ago, days ahead of scheduled delivery. Already I know I will play this instrument til the day I die. Through my wife, I learned about the Cajon and started my hand drumming journey there and with a Djembe. Between those, I preferred the Cajon hands down (mainly because of the sound of the wood) however, this Tongue drum gives me so much more joy with the melodies I can play while supporting them with different percussion grooves. It takes a bit to get down the striking technique if you are not accustomed to playing with just single fingers (as opposed to closed hand) but I think that will just open up more doors to my cajon playing. Anyway, the service was incredible, the instrument is insanely well crafted and it is absolutely impossible to go wrong with this scale. Could not be happier! Thank you Rav Vast!
|

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. |
|
I was choosing between In Sen and G Minor. A hard choice indeed. Both scales have these special Asian vibes that I just love. I am a big fan of traditional Chinese/Japanese music and both these scales can perform it. I did some research prior to buying. Thankfully the RAV online store has a lot of info and music samples, so I finally decided for G Minor with this "hear and feel it resonate in you"-approach and I have no regrets. Though I am thinking to take the In Sen as the next scale, perhaps.
|
|
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! |

Только сегодня получил сей замечательный инструмент! И не просто доволен, а доволен, как слон! Ибо моё желание заиметь и научиться играть на нём стойко держалось на протяжении года. Впервые я познакомился с RAV Vast в Москве, в 2019 году, когда зашёл в музыкальный магазин присмотреть себе что-нибудь новое. И поскольку ранее, в интернете, я уже видел ролики как обучающего характера, так и мелодии собственных сочинений, сразу же стало понятно, что мой интерес к этому инструменту будет крайне долгим и стойким. И еще мне дали его потрогать и поиграть на нём!!! Восторгу не было предела! И вот, в середине 2020 я его приобрел. Звук у него, как уже читающий отзывы потенциальный владелец мог догадаться, просто потрясающий. Он одновременно и расслабляет, и тонизирует, и немного приводит мысли в строй. Подробно описывать доставку смысла нету - в отзыве выше счастливый покупатель описал всё так, как есть на самом деле. Свой заказ я сделал в десятых числах мая. А получил сегодня. Как и было заявлено в информационном сообщении от команды РАВ. Сам инструмент выполнен в очень привлекательной цветовой гамме и геометрической форме. Отдельно мне, как эстету, нравится дизайн язычков рава. Монолитный, крепкий, девятикилограммовый друг. Хотелось не только написать отзыв, но и выразить благодарность всей команде РАВ и создателю этого чУдного инструмента! Вы потрясающие! Продолжайте в том же духе! |
 Практичный и долговечный, этот чехол защитит ваш RAV от дождливой погоды и станет вашим лучшим другом, когда дело доходит до игры на улице, благодаря дополнительной откидной части. |
|
Чехол отличный - качественный пошив, качественные материалы. Для переноски и хранения рава просто самый идеальный вариант. Рекомендую! (заказ 2854).

I have waited a few months before writing my review to hopefully give my quick true opinion not just open first looks.
I love this drum. It has a peaceful, natural sound with an easy to learn musical scale right in your lap. This is my first and only drum and I'm not a percussionist nor, am I a musical wizard but, this I just wanted to learn to play so bad I saved up for a short while and bought the B Celtic miner as my first but not last Rav Vast. I recommend this drum and sacale for anyone wanted to learn a new and cool instrument that is sure to get alot of attention no matter what or who you are playing for. Thanks to the Rav Team for all the help with this easy process and smooth transaction. From helping me deside I wanted one and then which scale to choose. 20200605_142932.jpg (3.04 Mb) |

The bag is very well made. I always like to have a carrying case and this one is just what I wanted. I dont need a case to very often but, when I do I will always recomend getting a case to go with all your instruments every time.
5 stars from me. Thanks Rav team for offering such a good quality bag to go with an amazing instruments. |
 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. |
|
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. |
|
Incredible sound! It is my second tongue drum. The first was a handcrafted tank drum that I took on trial. I liked the overall idea but my tank drum has a very muffled sound so I decided to take a really good drum with a good sound and stumbled across the E Low Pygmy RAV Vast. And oh my God! It sounds amazing! My tank drum can't hold a candle to the RAV Vast! The RAV’s sound is much more sonorous, melodious and louder! I regret I hadn’t taken it earlier instead of my tank drum that I’ve almost abandoned now. I like that I can create some good melodies without even delving too much into the process itself. I am a massagist and at the end of each session, my clients stay for 10-15 in some kind of Shavasana. I play the RAV Vast for them while they are relaxing and my clients say they get a deeper relaxation now! I definitely highly recommend it, especially if you are a practitioner like me. |
|
I saw a musician playing the RAV Vast in YouTube’s recommended videos and was so captivated! The sound is LUV! I was a little worried because I had never played this kind of instrument before, but I instantly fell in love with my RAV Vast when it arrived. The drum is very easy to play. I feel like it creates a melody itself and I am just a conductor. The price is higher than of small tank drums I saw around the net, but I was lucky to shop my RAV Vast during the time of big discounts. And the quality is definitely worth every cent! |
|
I am a handpan player and I’ve been searching for some sweet-n-easy scale to unwind between the handpan sessions and maybe add some interesting tones to my handpan music. The B RUS scale is just a piece of cake for a handpan musician. My handpan is tuned in B Celtic and it can be challenging sometimes as it requires thinking ahead which note you will play next. With the B RUS there’s no need for that. All the progressions sound harmonious.It’s a godsend after looking for harmonious progressions with a handpan (especially if it’s a bad day and you fail to find the good ones). I also wanted to take a scale tuned in B like my handpan two practice two-hands play - the RAV Vast and the handpan simultaneously. |
|
It has been a week since I received my RAV Drum D major and I am in love with it. The sound is amazing and the quality of the instrument is nothing short of being top notch! Customer service has been very helpful and the packaging was done properly. I think the D Major scale is perfect for people who are looking for their first RAV Drum. I am sure this first RAV Drum will not be my last!
|
|
I was confused about deciding which scale to choose to become my first RAV drum and my first musical instrument. Never played anything before. I was choosing between the D Major and the B RUS as these two scales are both marked as suitable for beginners in the RAV’s store. In the end, I gravitated towards the B RUS to become my first RAV Vast, and I should say it’s a really great instrument for a newbie. Big thanks to customer support for helping to decide! I like the ease of manipulation of the notes - and I get a good melody in any case. It’s a super perk for me as I was always afraid to start learning music because of the fear to play off key and create noise instead of melodies. Highly recommend it for anyone who starts learning music for the first time in life like me! |

Hi everybody,
From Russia send to my Island in the South Pacific and through customs in under 3 weeks..... in Covid times. Very impressive. Thank you for this achievement ! The packaging was impressive as well. It had could be shot in a rocket to Mars and would not have had a scratch. On the other hand, many people try to avoid to produce to much rubbish in these days. Our planet is suffering. And this was packed with a ton of stuff. Made me a bit sad. But I wanted this drum and I wanted it to arrive unharmed. I may should not expect that Aladdin on a flying carpet would deliver it from his hands. Instead it made its way in Airplanes from Russia to Germany, from Germany to England, being moved within England, then to the U.S. and being transported around there before it was finally flown to Australia and from there to my Island. And all this in a ton of wrapping. What will ya do ? It had to be. May the planet forgive me. The drum itself is from the first look and touch just an beautiful object. An eye catcher. So well crafted, such a beauty. And it gets even better when you start to play it. I'm no musician. I thought this instrument could finally let me play some music without learning. Just intuitive playing. And I was right. You can do exactly that. Depending on your mood and your creativity, different sounds and melodies are produced. Different areas on the drum have different sounds and if somebody is willing one could learn at least 20 ways of playing this instrument. Little kids can find an easy access to sound and music through this instrument as well. It is very relaxing and absolutely intuitive. I can only recommend it. A little downside is that I have to care for it as well. As I live in a humid area of the world, I need to rub it with oil once or twice a week. I learned this only when reading the instructions. I would have liked to know that earlier. No worry, I will take care as it is a wonderful peace of hand-craft which makes me happy For the price tag I have to say that it is an investment. Around 650-700 USD plus shipping plus taxes, that is a lot of cash. I recommend warmly not to be in a hurry but wait for a special. I got the feeling there is all the time one offer coming and going for every occasion of the year. While I'm writing this, the offer is -15% and half on DHL/EMS shipping. That is a better deal then I had. The deal in the moment would have saved me another 70 USD. So again, do not be in a hurry. Take your time if you are interested to buy. I did not bought any of the accessories because I think they are overpriced. So may as well the instrument itself but I do not regret my decision. I love my drum and it makes me happy. The work involved is made by very dedicated people. From the sellers, to the shipping department, the builders of the instruments....all very dedicated people. Thank you again RAV VAST for this fine instrument and all your good heart and work in it. |
 The ding of our PAN Celtic B is tuned in B2, which is lower than most of the tunings you have ever seen. This PAN emits really low inimitable bass sound. The Heartbeats for B Celtic is tuned in B1 so the music of B Celtic is smooth, ambient, low and soothing. |
|
This pan sounds amazing and I'm super pleased with it, I truly appreciate the craftsmanship! Thank you!

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. |

 The B Kurd is a 9+1 note scale with the Middle-Eastern vibes to it. Being named in honor of Kurdish music culture, the B Kurd recreates the tradition of dramatic and nostalgic melodies that were performed by the bards who traveled between the villages. The additional note provides a big room for improvisation. That’s what makes it a very desired scale for experienced musicians. The B Kurd has a minor voice and amazing cadence of the songs you create with this drum. The B Kurd is great for composing melancholic ethnic songs as well as scary and romantic music. It works perfectly with many RAV Vasts and a whole number of other musical instruments. Thus, if you want to take part in a jam session, this is the right scale to choose. |
|
I bought a B Kurd and a D major. They received within a week, from Estonia to the Netherlands. I am a layman with these kind of instruments. I have tried both now for some time. It is very easy to play. Even for children. Or children with specific needs. The sound is wunderfull. And playing with sticks with wool top they sound amazing deep and long tones. It is very reaxing. I am very happy with them. And of course i recommend this instrument.

I am obsessed with these Rav Vast drums LOL. I bought two! People think I sound like a pro on this B-Celtic Minor. I don't even know how to read or play music!!! THANK YOU! I am so happy! Definitely worth the money! Especially since they do not need to be tuned. I wish you made other colors like black, red, gold and silver versions too. I can't wait to get the G Pygmy soon!

I have 2 two tongue drums but you cannot compare with a Rav Vast !! The instrument is beautiful, the sound is truly amazing (G Pygmy). The team is great. The transport packaging is really safe. Really happy to get mine !! Thanks to you ! J’ai 2 tongue drums mais c’est incomparable avec un Rav Vast !! L’instrument est magnifique, le son est hallucinant (G Pygmy). L’équipe est super. L’emballage de transport est sûr. Vraiment content d’avoir le mien. Merci à vous ! |
|
First of all, the instrument is amazing and the sound is totally stunning, also a quality is the best. In the first place I wanted to choose something more "mystical", but then after some research on YT I realized I need more simple and happy scale for my first RAV. It was very good choice! I love the D major tuning, but I am tempted to try some other scales in future
. Moreover, the customer support was very helpful and everything was solved straight away, because I had accidentally made an order from russia based shop. |
|
What can I say? It has been great service from the Rav team from the start, from being able to play and try out the different keys on their website (which I think is invaluable) to the advice and service the team gave. The Rav arrived to the UK within 2 weeks, which was fantastic as I was so impatient to recieve it and boxed so carefully. Its such a lovely instrument and I have no musical background at all but within 2 weeks of following tutorials I feel I am making progress already. I also bought the bag for the Rav which is great quality and looks like it will last, as I had read reviews on other websites that the bags they had ordered were poor quality and fallen apart within days so I'm glad I chose to go with ravvast.com for the quality of both the drum and the bag. I really cannot recommend the team enough . I found the hardest part of the whole process actually making a decision on what key to buy it in as they all sound so lovely and beautiful!!! I am so happy with the B Celtic Minor but I'm sure this wont be the only Rav drum that I buy!!

 The F Pygmy is a supreme and the most precious drum in all the RAV Pan collection. Being the hardest scale to produce, this drum has experienced a hundred of hammer strikes to get its amazing sound. The F Pygmy recreates the best of handpan drum sound being much more affordable price. It’s a perfect scale for advanced musicians who can apply all their skills for composing and improvisation. The sound of the scale is mellow and lush. It belongs to African culture and provides the vibes of tribal music. The drum dimples are tuned in 3rd, 4th and 5th octave. In addition to classic 9 notes on the top it has 2 extra membranes on the bottom providing musician a greater room for creation. It is great to play on its own and pairing with other handpans and tongue drums. This scale is great for therapy, stress relief and meditation, it provides a contemplating mood. When you purchase the RAV Pan you also get a hard case to ease the transporting. |

I ordered the F Pygmy RAV Pan as my first handpan and have been playing it for a few weeks now. What a beautiful instrument! I can’t get enough of it. The scale is my favorite part - it is somewhere in between minor and major, and evokes a sense of mystery without getting repetitive. The quality and workmanship of the instrument seem excellent and the sound is very well-balanced and harmonious. Each note is clear, resonates well and has good sustain. I particularly like that there are no metallic-sounding tones. The two underside notes are a little more dull than the top ones, but I am still glad they are included because they extend the lower range of the scale and increase the variety of chords that can be played. The case that the pan comes in is sturdy and is a nice bonus. I should also mention that the RAV team’s customer service was excellent (they even agreed to apply a discount that was announced after I placed my order). Thank you! |

My D major Rav Vast arrived nearly three weeks ago. Within 5 minutes, without instructions, and with zero percussive experience, I was playing music. Absolutely surreal. And the sound...
Thank you Rav Team for bringing to the world something truly beautiful. |
 G Pygmy сделана из стали толщиной 1,5 мм, обычная толщина стали в наших барабанах 2 мм. Такая тонкая сталь создаёт особое звучание, очень объемное, почти колокольное. Также такая толщина позволяет расширить диапазон инструмента. С G Pygmy вы можете создавать потрясающе сложные и контрастные композиции. |

Truly One of the sounds of my soul... Most magical, expansive gorgeous vibrations. Reminds me of a Higher Dimensional or Angelic advanced realm/Humanity of the future, with beautifully geometric kindly loving crafted architecture building,, consciousness and spiritually self-mastery advanced beings, all intelligently, consciously considerately in tune with natural living organic Nature/all in and of multiversal being hahaha. Yet also: if fluffy rich snow flakes and ice had a sound... this expresses them, and I love snow. Yet also perhaps of cool emerging spring with flowers and green abundant<3. Thank you guys! Infinite love and High Blessings to all. ^_^.

 Like a summer sunset in a meadow, the B Golden Arcadia provides a bright mood with a slight feeling of sweet melancholy. This is a very melodious scale with a serene voice. This scale will work for medium and pro musicians who are ready to get deeper into creating amazing compositions. The B Golden Arcadia will become a great addition to meditation or yoga sessions, and it’s an amazing instrument for solo performances. If it seems like you’ve heard it all and you are looking for some very specific sound, take a look at the B Golden Arcadia – it has a lot to surprise you. |
|
I play my Golden Arcadia every day, it helps me create endless soulful compositions. It sounds like sunlight on water, I'm totally in love with it.

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 🙏

Great instrument, great service, very fast replying to messages to help which scale to choose and answer questions around logistics even during these uncertain times. the play online tool really helps to choose the right scale for you. I picked up the D celtic minor and don't regret it - shipping is fast. I already want another one!

 This mellow, elusive scale evokes water and air and is perfect for meditation. The number of repeated notes in octaves in these scales give these RAVs particular resonance and make them especially approachable for beginners. Balanced, "asian" kind of sound |
|
Amazing instrument. I own several metal drums, and this one is the easiest to play. Wonderfull sound.
I took it to the beach this morning very early to play together with the sound of the sea. 2020-04-27 08.19.39.jpg (3.24 Mb) |

I received my D Major RAV Vast this week and I've had a blast playing with it. I play guitar and I'm really excited to jam with it. The sound of this drum is so pure and immersive, and the build quality is excellent. They definitely take pride in their work manufacturing these. 5/5 Stars from me.

The Customer Service has been awesome. They have been fast and responsive
I was a little bit scared that during this emergency the delivery was going to be on delay. However the service has been successfully guaranteed in 5 days. What about the Rav Vast? Simply sublime. I enjoy the Pygmy scale and no regret to choose the Rav instead of the Handpan  IMG_20200408_194740.jpg (2.94 Mb) |

Thank you guys for this masterpiece /|\ Such a lovely instrument!
I knew it's "my thing" first time I saw/hear it on Youtube. I was choosing my favourite scale quite for a while. Every day I played a bit on the virtual player, aslo listened to the demo tracks (which are so beautiful!) and tried to feel which sound suits me best. One day I opened the ravvast website and saw that they are selling a golden limited edition of their drums! I thought, hmm - that's nice, I like that warm metalic colour - so it's a time to finally place an order! RAV Vast B Celtic Double Ding was my choice because I was looking for something what is accesible for my beginner's level. At the same time I liked the richness of the spectrum of posibilities of the major and minor sounds, because I like to find a harmony between those two - major and minor. Double ding is really helpful to take the tune into some different direction. For my progress and inspiration I use the online lessons advertised on this website and I find them very helpful and fun. And also there are some lesons on Youtube as well. So at the end - there's plenty of material to work with.I really enjoy my journey with this instrument, it's really special masterfully crafted thing of etheric sound thumbnail.png (2.68 Mb) |

I play this scale since 2018 now and i still fall in love everytime i hear its sound. Best investition ever and i truthfully recommend it! The sound just carries you anywhere you wanna be and makes you lose all your worries for as long as you're playing
|
|
What an absolutely brilliant instrument! I bought this tuntuning and it is perfect. I've never played a drum before and this has the right amount of hardness and ease to make want to continue with it. I play it every day and I learn something new every day. The sales team are wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. Thankyou!

I received my Rav Vast a few days ago. This is my very first drum. I love it ! It's such a pleasure to play with it and its sound is hypnotizing. Having zero background with that kind of instruments, I'm very pleased to be already able to play pretty good tunes. It's easy, intuitive, and exploring the scale occupies most of my days now. It has been shipped very quickly and the quality is perfect. Also, the team is very nice and they helped me with a lot of efficiency. Buy it ! You won't regret it.

My first steel drum! What can I say, I am wordless but I should say something. It looks lovely, it reminds me of a starry night or the universe. The sound is amazing with a lot of possibilities, you can go as creative as you want in playing it, it's all up to you. The sustain on it is incredible, I sometimes enjoy just hitting one note and taking it all in, letting it vibrate until I stop hearing it, hoping I can hear just a bit more at the lower end. I often am heading somewhere in the house and as soon as I stop by the instrument I find myself playing it for a while, forgetting what I was going to actually do. I am not much of a spiritual person but it has something extra. I also play guitar, ukulele and a traditional wooden flute called kaval, common in the Balkans, I do not know if it is the novelty or the combination of notes on it but it certainly has something that the others do not. I assume it is also a very beginner friendly instrument.

Beautiful sound. Thank you so much. Blessings

Amazing scale! I was choosing between the G Pygmy and the E Low Pygmy (I am just a fan of Pygmy note progression) and it was a really hard choice! Both instruments are so great! I was looking for some deep moody sound and these two scales are both like this. At the end, I decided to choose the G Pygmy because its sound is not as heavy as the E Low’s one (this one is really a Darth Vader but in a good way). The G Pygmy is also easier to deal with and not fizzle out (and I am not a pro). So I got a great instrument with the help of which I can prove to anyone that composing melodies is really achievable without a thorough knowledge of music theory! |

Until very recently, I learned about the existence of handpans and Rav Vast instruments. When I heard the G pygmy, it really resonated with me. The G pygmy is wonderful sounding scale, it is soothing, uplifting and spiritual all in one. The Rav Vast is a fantastic, incredibly beautiful instrument. It is so perfectly crafted and so dynamic in the sound, even the slightest touch transports you to another place. There are so many different techniques that you can use to bring your playing alive..fingers, hands, fingernails, mallets, brushes, knuckles, I use a mix of all. I am mostly a guitarist and really not much of a drummer but you don't have to be. I have had the G pygmy for only about1 month and I am so impressed. I am already enjoying myself making music on my Rav. The customer service and Rav website is top notch. I would love to buy another Rav in the Future, worth every penny. I highly recommend getting a Rav Vast. Follow your heart and the Rav that resonates with you.

My yoga teacher tends to play the Golden Gate while we all do savasana to relax at the end of a session. It seems to be the easiest yoga exercise (as you just nap) but actually it’s one of the most challenging asanas. You need to quiet your body AND mind and it’s easier to say than to do. But the sound of RAV Vast makes it really easy to do. You are slowing down with each note and can actually see all your disturbing thoughts vanishing away. So I decided to take the C Golden Gate for myself to practice meditation at home. It’s an amazing instrument! |
|
I’m in LOVE with this drum! I’ve been dreaming to learn to play the handpan drum for a while but I was really afraid to start as I had pretty no musical background. The D Major RAV Vast became a game-changer for me. It’s a unique instrument - a tongue drum with a blissful sound. I messaged the RAV team and they advised me to buy the D Major as this scale is just perfect for newbies and can be played by literally anyone. I started at a snail’s path tapping randomly different tongues and I already get some nice melodies! I am well motivated to keep on learning to play real songs! |

 A integral is an enigmatic scale which has both, major and minor chords. Beginners can have difficulties with it because half-steps make it a tricky tuning to deal with. However A Integral is a very popoular choice for mediataion due to its minor meditative mood. A Integral refers to Native American culture and sounds like a lonely horseman crossing a deserted prairie... |
|
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 is so beautiful. It is a must to have in my opinion with the D MAJOR. They go SO well together. Both are amazing beautiful instruments. I just can't say enough about this company, the quality, the customer service and the sound. Thank you. I feel like pieces of Heaven have fallen like droplets in my home every time I play them. Blessings and more!

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!! IMG_20200130_130616_662.jpg (786.16 Kb) |

Thank you SO much! I just received my beautiful D drum. It is So well build. Thank you over and over and over again.

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.

Hi! The G Pygmy RAV has been such a joy to play. The RAV in general is a great instrument for everyone as it sounds great for beginners and invites new rhythms for an experienced percussionist. I find this tuning works well with other instruments and have been finding fun chord combinations on my guitar with a capo on the 3rd fret. As a drummer it’s showing me new rhythms with my hands based on the melodies my ear wants to hear. My girlfriend is just beginning and loves learning on it. We also facilitate breathwork/meditation together and find this tuning to create the perfect atmosphere for a peaceful session.
I really recommend this tuning for just about anyone looking to get their journey with a RAV started. Couldn’t be happier! Thank You! |

Beautiful sound

I found the durability of this case did not measure up to my needs. The zippers broke quite quickly and the zipper came unsewed from the bag. I have been using the bag for 9 months and need to replace it because of the zipper issue.
|

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

 D Celtic Minor has a light and airy sound. This scale suits to all skill levels and nicely combines with guitars and other instruments. All natural notes make D Celtic a perfect scale for mediatation, too. D Celtic Minor has medieval Сeltic mood. It brings you somewhere to Sherwood Forest to wander around the age-old trees and see the fairies dance. |
 RUS расшифровывается как "RAV Universal Scale" (универсальная RAV настройка). Вариативность нот инструмента только подтверждает это: B минор, D мажор, F# минор и A мажор - каждая новая композиция может звучать совершенно иначе, словно вы поменяли инструмент. |
|
Недавно мы приобрели на этом сайте RAV Vast. Выбирали из того, что было в наличии, что бы быстрее получить. Хотя, ожидание, конечно, обостряет ощущения при встрече. Сотрудники интернет-магазина добросовестно помогали нам, за что им отдельное спасибо! Из предложенного мы остановились на барабане с настройкой B RUS, правда, у меня были некоторые сомнения и пару дней спустя я поняла, почему. Каждый инструмент хорош по своему и у каждого есть свои особенности. На мой взгляд, для начинающих всё-таки больше подойдёт настройка Celtic - мне доводилось прежде немного играть на таких. Почему не RUS? Не смотря на родную нам аббревиатуру А в целом, бесспорно, инструмент отличный! Играть можно не только по язычкам и верхней панели корпуса, но и по нижней тарелке, используя так же и деревянную вкладку в её середине. Звуки получаются разнообразными и создают интересный мелодический рисунок. И ещё, этот инструмент прекрасно снимает усталость и под его медитативное пение очень приятно засыпать)) |
|
Received the E Low Pygmy today. Well packaged in insulated box. Amazing instrument, superb build quality. The sound is absolutely wonderful!
Friendly customer service all round! 10/10 would definitely recommend! Please keep going like this! |
 Marmara самая меланхоличная, ностальгирующая - минорная настройка из всех наших RAVов. За счет своего настроения она подходит не только профессиональным музыкантам, но и начинающим пользователям: нет переходных полутонов между мажорными и минорными аккордами. Такая настройка подходит для медитации. |

Very useful and nicely made bag. Makes carrying around your instrument very easy and looks cool. Love it!

The instrument sounds and looks awesome!
It indeed helps to open up your mind and forget about the reality for a while. Many thanks for a great Black friday offer and very fast delivery. bRAVo! |

I have just received my very fist drum of any kind (RAV Vast B Celtic Double Ding). I can not believe how fast it was shipped to me, it only took 5 days to get in USA. Amazing customer service and the best packaging I have ever seen. Everything seems to be of a great quality and the instrument is absolutely beautiful. Can not wait to get home and start playing it. Thank you Artem (Spasibo)!!!

I ordered the Rav Vast B Celtic Minor - this is my first Rav and I am a total beginner!
The customer service from the Rav Vast staff is amazing- and my Drum was shipped very quickly and reached me safely in Australia, the drum was very well packaged and protected and arrived in perfect condition. The drum it's self is incredible the quality of craftsmanship is beautiful and the sound is so rich. For any other beginners out there that are on the fence- this instrument in this scale is very easy to learn- there are some wonderful youtube tutorials that will get you started!! Highly recommend this great company and this beautiful Rav scale RavVast.jpeg (21.11 Kb) |

I could not be more happy with the purchase of my RAV! I ordered it for my birthday a few weeks in advance, and with normal shipping from Russia to the USA it arrived in just over a week! I was so impressed by how promptly it was shipped and delivered. The RAV team was so incredibly helpful and kind along the way, and I could not recommend them and their products enough. If you are on the fence about purchasing a RAV, rest assured that you will absolutely love it.

I am the proud owner of two Rav drums and the celtic B minor shall be my 3rd😊
I am a sound therapist based in Ireland and was the first in the south east to use the Rav in my sound baths. People are intrigued and in love with the Rav sound. Some ask me what stringed instrument I am playing, others think it is a harp. They cannot believe when they see it is one of my Ravs I cannot recommend this drum enough. They have captured my soul xx and those of others. 20191027_105039.jpg (4.42 Mb) |

I purchased my first Rav back in February this year and Fell in love with the mood and flow of the G Pygmy, I knew once I heard it, it was the scale for me! I love how it almost contradicts itself, yet flows so fluently together.
A beautiful dance of Sound, Deeply grounding yet also so vibrant enabling you to fly Also the Rav teams Customer Service was amazing! They made sure all details of every step were communicated swiftly and the order went through without any issues Thank you guys for this and this amazing tool you have created Uruz Rise.jpg (308.57 Kb) |
 B Celtic Double Ding is a balanced RAV scale with 2 dings (bass notes) which allows to use it not only as B minor, but also A major. Due to the additional ding, this scale has 10 notes instead of 9. If you’re hit all tongues one by one you will hear how a small river becomes a magnificent waterfall. |
|
Bought the double ding recently having never owned any kind drum before, and I couldn't be happier. Still play it every day and it's amazing what you can do with it. Having the extra note allows you to play in both A and B which gives so much freedom to what you can play. Highly recommend this tuning for its happy A tuning and its more serious and mystical B tuning.
|
 D Major is an elated and happy sounding tuning with an air of a pop-song. It is also the most friendly scale in our range as it is great for all skill levels, easily approachable for beginners and greatly mixes with other instruments, especially guitars. D Major sounds like a nostalgia about happy childhood or other careless times when everything was easy and so much fun. |
|
Rav Vast D major is amazing instrument with beautiful, cheerful, happy sounding, I enjoy every moment with it!
Thanks for my beautiful Rav as well as the super quick delivery of all Rav Vast Team! Спасибо! |
|
This instrument is nothing short of "magical." It's beautiful in both appearance and in sound. Anywhere I've played it, just hearing it makes people want one. I love playing mine along with my Native American-style flutes. Works great with flutes in the keys of B minor and F# minor especially. Buy one, you won't regret it.

I bought my first Rav, a G Pygmy, last June and I just love it ! It is exactly what I was looking for.
Excellent client services too. Thank you !!! 20190917_204158.jpg (822.21 Kb) |

I just ordered a G Pygmy as my first Rav or any tongue/hand pan type instrument, and I love and appreciate it so very much! And I appreciate and love all of you who are involved with Rav and do all that you do to create, share, and gift these divine instruments of infinite creative sovereign expression to the world! The G Pygmy is a very diverse scale. Having tones of both major and minor, deep mysteriousness, and very natural beautifully expansive resonating positve affects. It reminds me of a richly abundant, wonderfully Vast and mysterious rain forest, and all the energies of the infiinite magnitude of intelligent diverse life therein, living in respectful, blissful unity and cohesiveness haha <3! Or of a tribal setting of peoples in the same unity cohesive, family full loving respectful, honorable, togetherness with the magical music that they create multidimensionally through the energies that they each sovereignly and together create and harmonize, share as a whole in the fullness of a symphony ^_^. I love the array of sounds and styles you can create with the G Pygmy; from single note magical moving and flowing melodies, with or without filling expressive percussive elements, or so fill space with eithe single meditative resonating notes, or the same with the capabilities of the scale providing possibility for any upon many chordal harmonies! I love buidling with chord progressions or 2 note, 3, or even 4 note chords available all over its very symphonic piano type sonorous notes. This Rav truly is a special oh so soulfully heart rich magical instrument, and being that it is so Vast of creative possibilities and ultra super easy to adapt to right away, is a perfect scale choice to start your spiritual developing musical Rav journey or just exactly the same is perfect for advanced creations throughout your growing abilities
.Spontaneous personal sharing side note: Rav Vasts remind me of like musical magical flying saucer/space ships ahaha! Resonating and opearting through multidimensional energies in harmonizing musical vibrations of life and the universe haha! And I love how the design in the wooden plug on the back reminds me of a solar system crop circle, with tetrahedral geometry hidden withi nthe little circles haha! Thank you all at Rav for everything <3 Be well, loving abundance, joy, and bliss to you :3. |

В первый раз я услышал RAV Vast в магазине, когда намеревался купить обычный глюкофон. Собственно, после этого, кроме RAV Vast мне больше ничего не хотелось покупать.
В общих чертах об инструменте: Он (без преувеличения) – великолепен! Вы не найдете в нём ни одного изъяна, ни одного огреха. Изучив каждый дюйм этого творения, удивляешься, неужели всё может быть настолько безупречно сделано? О звуке: Визуально никаких дефектов, которые могли бы искажать звук – не выявил. Всё звучит ровно, без «артефактов». Звук инструмента глубокий и насыщенный, умиротворяющий и успокаивающий, медитативный и задумчивый. По крайней мере, такая характеристика отлично, на мой взгляд, отражает настройку B Celtic Minor. Между тем, несмотря на то, что настройка позиционируется в спокойном окрасе, инструмент в ваших руках может иметь и другие «тона». Всё зависит от вас. О внешнем виде: Цвет инструмента мне достался глубокий синий. У кого-то бывают и другие оттенки, но различия не значительные. Сам инструмент полностью монолитный. Сделан на совесть. Все «лепестки» идентичны друг другу, не имеют «зазубрин» и иных элементов, которые бы свидетельствовали о некачественном изготовлении. В связи с отсутствием угловых частей – инструмент очень приятно держать в руках. О комплектации: В комплекте идет памятка на разных языках, оформленная в мягкую рамку. В памятке вы найдете рекомендации по эксплуатации и уходу за инструментом. О дополнительном комплекте: Отдельно заказывал черный чехол RAV Vast и палочки для игры. Чехол подошел идеально, сшит качественно, защищает от внешних повреждений. Несколько раз в нем транспортировал инструмент – всё было отлично. На мой взгляд – чехол нужно брать обязательно. Это поможет защитить и сохранить ваш инструмент в отличном состоянии. Палочками пользуюсь в основном при игре в сочетании с другими инструментами. Сами палочки, как и чехол, выглядят отлично, имеют разные насадки для наиболее подходящего звукоизвлечения. Их удобно держать в руках. Палочки также имеют защитный чехол на заклёпке, за что отдельное спасибо! О доставке и заказе: Инструмент мне пришел буквально за две-три недели со дня заказа. Однако я рассчитывал на более долгий срок, при условии его изготовления. Это огромный плюс! Не пугайтесь, если это займет чуть больше времени. Главное, чтобы вы остались довольны своим RAV Vast! Доставляется инструмент в большой коробке. Сам RAV Vast был обмотан в пленку и сверху покрыт монтажной пеной, поэтому можете быть абсолютно спокойны за его сохранность. Кстати, отдирать этот «панцирь» руками было очень весело! И ещё, при вскрытии, будьте осторожны, используя острые предметы. О выборе настройки: Очень долго изучал и прислушивался ко всем настройкам. Продвинутая ли, не продвинутая ли настройка – меня не особо волновало. Хотя, сейчас уже задумываюсь и об этом. Изучив всё возможное, просмотрев тонны видео - остановился на настройках B RUS и B Celtic Minor. Выбирать было очень тяжело. Однако бархатный медитативный голос B Celtic Minor меня одолел, в конечном итоге. Вбирал я исключительно на слух, поэтому, если вы не можете определиться с выбором, просто сядьте, закройте глаза, ещё раз послушайте оба инструмента и посмотрите на то, как каждый из них будет отдаваться внутри вас. Мне это помогло. Заключение: Хотелось бы выразить слова благодарности всей команде RAV! Успехов вам, процветания и всяческого развития! Спасибо за чудесный инструмент! Надеюсь, мой отзыв поможет кому-то в выборе своего RAV Vast. Отметайте все сомнения по поводу приобретения этого потрясающего музыкального инструмента. Он действительно уникален и, безусловно, не оставит равнодушным вас и ваших слушателей! RAV2.JPG (177.53 Kb) |

Спасибо огромное команде РАВ лабс за то, что они целую неделю потратили, чтобы помочь мне с выбором нужной мне настройки, т к вживую я не мог услышать глубину звучания т к проживаю в Республике Казахстан. Я выбрал именно этой строй, потому что в нем есть тот самый мотив, который подходит мне для молитвы. Это невероятный инструмент, который нужно слушать вживую, потому что глубина звука и лёгкие оттенки обертонов создают идеальную атмосферу для молитвы. Я рад, что на мое тридцатилетие ваша команда сделала скидку и мой подарок дошел ща 8 дней! Спасибо отдельно Андрею, за то что он внёс свой вклад в музыку через РАВВАСТ.

 B Celtic Minor универсальная настройка, она проста в изучении - идеальна для начинающих. Звучание B Celtic Minor успокаивает и умиротворяет. Это любимая настройка Андрея Ремянникова, создателя RAVа. |

This is a wonderful music instrument! Sound is beautiful, calm & peaceful! I loved it's sound from the first time, so I chose it to be my first Rav drum!!
|
|
This is a great deal for an amazing instrument. The sound is even better than I had expected. Just Buy it, you'll love it as much as I do.

Hello from New Zealand,
This drum is mesmerising! Our clients love it. We've had people laugh, smile, sleep and cry during therapy sessions. Wish I could just own them all though! Highly recommend this scale. Shipped really fast and was packed amazingly securely. Here are some photos of it in our reception for our float clinic. |

RAV Pan Celtic D is your first handpan. If you have always wanted to play a handpan and don't want to compromise, this tuning is made for you. It is very easy to learn and combine notes with it and Heartbeats is D2 will make your music even more vibrant.
|
|
This PAN is very melodious, bright and full of hope. And you can have a very flexible session with any music. It is made of very solid material, and a good chord will sound wherever you hit it. The adjuster in the lower sound hole is really very meaningful, and the ding's bass and overtones increase, making the sound more powerful. The rav drum is an instrument with a great sustain, but the rav pan also has a great overtone.
Awesome!!!! |
|
G Minor Pentatonic is definitely on the Asian side. If you hear it for the first time you may not recognize it as RAV drum - sound like Japanese instrument. This scale suits all skill levels: equally good for beginners, medium and advanced skill levels. G Minor Pentatonic can be your everyday helper if you practice meditation.

We are very happy of our rav, this one has a marvelous sound, we love it !!!! Just a few notes and the journey begins............

English version:
This RAV is so beautiful, and their sound invited for travel to another world. I have one of them since 2 years, and I'm always happy to play it and discover new things any times. French version: Ce Rav et réellement magnifique, et son sa sonorité invite au voyage dans d'autres mondes. J'ai ce Rav depuis 2 ans, et je suis toujours aussi heureux d'en jouer et je découvre de nouvelles choses a chaque fois que j'en joue. |

C Golden Gate is a major scale. It feels like dewdrops falling in the pine forest. This tuning is great for beginners because of its mood and notes. You will be able to create a melody with different moods, but it will not confuse you with halftones. Semitones (half steps/ halftones) - the interval between two surrounding notes. This scale gives you freedom without fear of making the wrong “step”. |
|
My C golden Gate RAV is awesome! It's really well made and solid as a rock! I play my RAV as part of a music demonstration that I present in local elementary schools. I play the Didgeridoo and give a short talk about its history and use in the Aboriginal Culture. The students love it! Recently, I've added playing my RAV Drum for them as well. It's a perfect way to mellow out the students at the end of my presentation. The RAV is so beautiful sounding and so hypnotic the way it relaxes the students before they head back to their classrooms. It is such a sturdy solid instrument that there is no problem letting the young students touch it and try playing it a little. They love it so much!
Thank you so much for your fine quality workmanship, service and shipping. For those people who are thinking about purchasing a RAV, don't hesitate, you'll love it and you'll have a wonderful experience making beautiful music. |
 A pack of three wooden mallets with three different kind of heads : Yellow polyurethane heads provide strong percussive sound. You can hear the strike with those. Red felt heads provide more mellow and warm sound. Grey felt heads give really warm and soft sound. Mallets come with a black case. |
|
Just fantastic. We are so happy that we decided to buy those mallets. Great design, professional as all the products. Great variety of sounds. We were so used to using our hands to play, but this makes it a whole different experience. I am addicted to my ravvasts and mallets now. Also, a fantastic tool to have when I work with children. They just love this instrument. Now with those mallets, they can explore it even more. I will be buying more of them soon. I am so impressed with the quality. I wish our gong mallets and flumes would be so well designed. Who knows, maybe something to think about?

 Practical and durable, this case will protect your RAV from rainy weather and will be your best buddy when it comes to playing outside. |
|
We own 3 of them. This bag is very handy to carry our ravvast. It is really professionally made. Perfect for the rainy days in Ireland, has rain protection. it keeps ravvast safe and easy to move to all those places. We have to carry a lot of equipment and a backpack like design is perfect for us. If I could have a suggestion. Tiny bit bigger bag would fit better. Although it is a well-designed bag, it could be even better to have a little more space to make it easier to close. Other than that absolutely professional and strong.

 RAV Vast2 B Major - older brother of RAV D Major. Bright and cheerful sound which is uplifting you. As a big brother, this scale finds a place with medium RAV level. We recommend this scale for solo players. Reach and clear sound of it will be a joy for your ears. Also, if you into jazz your melody on this scale will suit you perfectly. |
|
I bought my first ravvast a year ago, and since then I ended up owning 4 of them. I am really happy with the professional, and kind communication with the team. Helping me to choose the right drum and fast delivery. B Major has a perfect scale for our Sound Baths and meditation and has a very happy, also Spa-like sound that fits the purpose of gentle waking up after the relaxation. It has a really heartwarming sound in a way that makes us smile and stay positive. Our clients just love ravvasts. It is very relaxing to wake up after the session with their sounds. It is hard to say which one of 4 ravvasts we bought is our favorite. Each fits a purpose and we love to change between more melo, sad scales and happy scales. I bought a few drums, hoping to choose one for ourselves but ended up keeping all of them. It is impossible to let any of them go.

I bought my first ravvast a year ago, and since then I ended up owning 4 of them. I am really happy with the profecional, and kind communication with the team. Helping me to choose the right drum and fast delivery. B Celtic Minor is my 4th ravvast I decided to buy after owning other B scale drums. It has really heartwarming sound and I love the Celtic scale. I play Sound Baths in Ireland and use it for meditation and concerts. It goes really well with B Integral we have. (although would also sound also great with B Rus which wold be our next choise )The new version with a golden rim is beautiful. The sound is slightly more methalic and shorter then our other ravvasts from the older versions, but we also love it. I think this one is definitely so far my favorite one. We love the fact that we can play together now. Makes such a differance. Our clients just love ravvasts. It is very relaxing to wake up after the session to their sounds.

 G Pygmy is a warm and earthy mysterious scale with a bell-like sounding which allows to create amazingly difficult contrasting compositions. But at the same time, G Pygmy is very beginner friendly and can be a perfect minor companion to those who only learn playing. The sound of G Pygmy refers to African culture, its slightly dark mood and low notes remind of heavy rainy coulds and the smell of ozone before the long-desired storm. |
|
Hi everybody !!
I've bought a G Pygmy, 3 years ago, very intuitive scale, it's still the best tongue drum I know!! I really love it and every one who comes home to try my handpans are always impressed playing it!!  P1160841.JPG (3.82 Mb) |

Amazing instrument. Flawless sounds. I found the scale a bit too deeply striking - puts me in a slight gloom. Preferred the golden gate compared to this.
|
 E Low Pygmy is the lowest scale in the range. Can function as either an E minor / C major / A Minor / G major instrument (the adjacent scales separated by slashes share the same notes). Perfect for slow playing and meditation. Sound of E Low Pygmy has a distinct African air about it. It reminds of a shining from a far away star, deep and mysterious sound. |
 RAV Vast2 B Onoleo is a challenge. It is a hard scale, you will need time to get into it. But if you have passion, diligence and time, B Onoleo will become your scale with strong and deep sound. Also, the sound of this tuning has an Egyptian vibe to it. B Onoleo can be a great solo instrument. Attention: we don’t recommend this RAV for yoga and meditation practices. |
 Bestseller. Perfect for beginners in RAV playing and in overall music. Easy to play and learn. The most favorite scale of RAV creator, Andrey Remyannikov. B Celtic sounds like nature recovering after a disaster. Still and calm. |
