Eox Tongue Pan

About EOX

EOX is a top quality steel tongue drum (tonguepan) with unique enchanting sound. It is designed and handcrafted in St Petersburg with proprietary technology. Currently it is one of the best sounding steel tongue drums on the market. EOX Drum has a very distinct sound timbre with a deep resonance between the tongues and a crystal clear high end. It sounds very reach, calm and clean because each tongue of our instrument has several harmonics tuned (from 3 to 7) and it is made from thick 3 mm steel.

EOX has a long sustain and a pleasant look that distinguishes it from all other steel tongue drums.

Besides that we apply a multi-stage treatment which make the tongues resonant and responsive.
EOX Tonguepan is an ideal companion for many activities such as meditation, sound therapy and healing sessions, early musical education for kids, for yoga classes, or just for daily recreational use as a perfect tool to calm down and rebalance after stressful working day.
Professional musicians will also benefit from using EOX and successfully enrich their live sets and studio recordings by remarkable unique sounding and precisely tuned instrument with attractive look.

FAQ

Will my EOX go out of tune?

EOX is very robust and stable. It will not go out of tune. More details in the next question.

How can i take care of my EOX?

It is strongly not recommended to apply a gross physical effort to an instrument – throw it or drop it, throw something on it, push it with something heavy, use drum sticks or check which hit effort it can withstand! Such things can lead to changes in sound quality and loss of tuning. Remember that this is a musical instrument and it requires a corresponding attitude.

It is not allowed to use strong solvents, converters, concentrated alcohols and alkali, as well as vinegar and lemon juice to clean the surface. This will damage the coating and appearance of the musical instrument.

Almost all instruments of such kind do not like wetness, so it is recommended to avoid contacts of the instrument with water, even if it has anti-corrosion coating.

When staying in tropical and coastal areas, we recommend carefully monitor the surface treatment of the instrument, as a humid warm climate and salty sea air can lead to corrosion.

We recommend using Ballistol oil for the anti-rust care and corrosion prevention. This oil protects the metal well from environmental influences and cleans the surface of the instrument from dirt and rust.

For brass coated instruments, the usage of WD40 is not recommended – this could lead to the oxidation (darkening) of brass.

For long-term storage, it is not recommended to hold the instrument in a bag, because of the absence of natural air circulation, especially in humid and salty climates, it can lead to the occurrence of corrosion.

Following these tips, EOX Drum will be in good condition for many years!
