Limited edition: what you see in stock is likely all we can get this year. We do not expect to restock until 2027.

A handcrafted metal tongue drum unlike any other: the Kigonki produces rich, layered soundscapes through a unique dual-sided resonance system. We are proud to partner with Kigonki and bring their instruments to our collection.

What makes it unique

The Kigonki features eight tuned tongues on the front that form a melodic scale, and eight matching resonating tongues on the back that vibrate in response, creating a rich, undulating sustain and a deep monaural beat effect. Two slightly different frequencies combine in the air before reaching your ears, producing a hypnotic, immersive pulse.

The sound experience

• Layered, meditative soundscapes, ideal for sound healing, meditation and sound journeys
• Warm sustain with hypnotic movement, both grounding and expansive
• Tuned to blend with our G-Major instruments, such as the Hokema B11 and B15 kalimbas, the Sansula Renaissance Melody and the Koshi Ignis chime

How to play

• Strike the front tongues with hands or mallets; the back resonates naturally
• Use the wooden handle and rope to move or swivel the drum through space for evolving textures
• Place it on a table (3 legs on the underside), on your lap, or hang it from a medium gong stand
• Accessible for beginners and seasoned sound practitioners alike
