Topic tags/keywords: tongue drum tip question

I am going to try to make my own tongue drum. I have the WOOD magazine plan for one, but i was wondering if anyone had any tips—wood choice, glue choice, nails or a pinner? I’m also looking for another plan for a tongue drum with 10 or more tongue’s. If you have any hints, expertise you could share or plans, i would appreciate them immenesly!

I built the one from Wood also. It plays well for a child’s use. I used 1/2” paduak for the top, red oak for the body and walnut accent and mahogany for the feet. I found many other examples with google.
