Revolutionary Tongue Drum with all harmonics tuned. The instrument in a ligue of its own!


• 9 Notes

RAV VAST drum is an instrument in a ligue of its own. It has a unique sound quality due to the fact that up to 4-5 harmonics on the each tongue are tuned. On the central note there are 7 harmonics tuned. The complex shape of the tongues was calculated on the computer software in order to achieve the precise tuning of partials on each tongue and eliminate random harmonics. So it's not only a wonderful instrument but also a piece of advanced high technologies. The drum is loud enough to play outdoors. You can get your first sounds on it in a matter of minutes. The tongues are tuned to one scale which makes it very easy for beginners to start with.

We have 20 different sound models available. RAV Drum was invented by Russian engineer and developer Andrey Remyannikov. Early prototypes were made in 2013. The successful story of the RAV begun in 2015 when Andrey and Nadishana met for the first time on a concert of Nadishana-Kuckhermann-Metz trio in Perm and Andrey presented the RAV to Nadishana.The instrument became worldwide popular half yearl later, in 2016, when "Zero Density" video by Nadishana came out. Nowadays RAV is in big demand among very different audiences. Calming character of the RAV sound makes it perfect tool for the sound healing therapists or a great background for the yoga classes. The precise tuning of the partials on the tongues and cinematic ambiance which the sound of RAV creates makes it a big friend of modern composers. The endless potential of melodic finger percussion and new array of fascinating sounds never heard in a realm of acoustic instruments attracts professional musicians. The relaxing tones and simplicity of approaching the RAV makes it indispensable for personal use and recreation activities, weather you want just relax with gorgeous sounds or have a joy of playing music in a simple and intuitive way without complex practice methods and struggle of getting your first sound which is often happens with other musical instruments.

Dear Nadishana, I purchased the RAV VAST A Integral and G Pygmy. Everything went really well with shipping - the instruments arrived in perfect condition and I am really happy with them! I already have 2 original Swiss Panart Hangs in my collection, but the RAV VAST is one of the best instruments I have ever played! The sound is very colourful and lifts my spirit to a new dimension, nothing I have experienced so far.Thank you a lot, Nadishana for the great service and Andrej Remjannikov for the instrument!

The RAV is really incredible! It's not only a music instrument with an amazing sound, it's an outstanding beautiful piece of art! And it's really sounding like in the videos! There are no additional effects, as far as I can tell. Thanks so much to you Nadishana, for that you make it possible that the RAV is available here in Germany. Keep sharing the mystical sounds! Ingo
