Kigonki Binaural Tongue-Gong Drum
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 integrate seamlessly with our Soundscape sets in C-Major, A-Minor, G-Major, and D-Minor
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 on a table (3 legs on the underside), your lap, or hang from a medium gong stand
- Accessible for beginners and seasoned sound practitioners alike
