Product Description
This 22x16 cm deep purple steel tongue drum radiates an elegant, spiritual mood — one of the most exclusive colour variants in the series.
What is it for?
Purple is the colour linked to the crown chakra and spiritual awareness, making this model especially suited to advanced meditation and transcendent practice. Excellent for long meditation sessions or silent retreats. For sound therapists purple is a favourite for spiritually sensitive clients who are already advanced practitioners. On a desk during creative work, purple supports flow, especially for writers, poets and spiritual teachers. For pre-sleep meditation it is particularly recommended — colour and sound together evoke the deepest rest.
How to play it
Place on a stable surface, ideally on a soft purple or natural-colour pad that highlights the drum's look. With the included rubber-tipped mallets try the 'silent vibration' technique: strike the tongues extremely softly, barely touching them. The deep purple and soft sound together induce a meditative trance. For crown chakra work linger on a single tongue with repeated soft strikes while directing your attention to the crown of your head. Finger play is also wonderful — the soft touch matches the subtlety of the purple.
Who is it for?
Advanced meditators moving toward transcendent states. Spiritual teachers emphasising crown chakra awareness. Writers and poets seeking creative flow. Wellness professionals wanting an exclusive, understatedly elegant tool. A deeply personal gift for someone with a long inner practice who favours subtle, spiritual approaches.
Care and storage
Deep purple paint is UV-sensitive — colour can fade in sunlight. Always store in a dark or shaded place, ideally in a closed box. Dust first then wipe with a slightly damp cotton cloth. No alcohol or solvents. Given the large size a 25x25x18 cm or larger storage box is needed. To preserve the purple tone, keep a stable 15-20 C and 40-60% humidity. With this care it retains its deep original colour for decades.
Style and mood
The deep purple shade gives this instrument a special rank, not a mundane drum but an almost mystical object. Metal and paint together create a depth hard to describe in words or images. Those who choose this seek unique, rare, refined things in their life. Purple is traditionally the colour of wisdom and inner sight, combined with the drum's sound it forms a pairing that nourishes conscious living and inward turning for years.
Fun fact: purple was once so rare a dye that only royalty could afford it. Today it is accessible to everyone, yet retains its symbolism of wisdom and higher awareness.
