Sela Melody Tongue Drum 14" D Amara Navy Blue

Steel Tongue Drum for Meditation, Yoga, and Intuitive Music-Making

The Sela Melody Tongue Drum 14\" D Amara Navy Blue (SE-381) is a medium-sized steel tongue drum with nine precisely tuned tone fields and a diameter of just under 36 centimetres, producing a warm, long-lasting sound suited to yoga studios, meditation spaces, and classrooms. Because every note belongs to the D Amara scale, players cannot strike a \"wrong\" note — every combination produces a harmonious melody. The central D3 keynote makes composing intuitive from the first touch.

Why the SE-381 Stands Out

What sets this model apart is a fixed D Amara tuning — one of the most frequently used scales for handpans and tongue drums — paired with a steel body that produces deeper, fuller tones than smaller siblings. A matte navy blue finish gives the drum a calm look, while a protective rubber ring around the outer edge and rubber feet keep the instrument stable during play.
