Idiopan, the Tuned Steel Tongue Drum that is All Tone, No Tank™

Bret Hutchinson originally created the Idiopan in 2010. Bret later teamed up with Max Kundrat of Mid-East Mfg., Inc. Together they developed multiple line of professional quality steel tongue drums. They are available, in 6", 8", 10", 12" & 14" and they are made in various, gorgeous finishes. (More to be added to Artdrum. Please contact us if you have questions or to order.)

The Idiopan is a variation of Tank Drums. Yet unlike some tank drums, which can be metallic and chintzy sounding, the Idiopan produces pure, clear and beautiful tones; thus, they are "All Tone, No Tank".

Their beautiful sound quality makes them effective for professional musicians, recreational players, students, schools, music therapists & any one who enjoys pretty sounds.

The Idiopan can be played with mallets as well as hands and fingers.

They are available in acoustic and electric versions. The sounds of the acoustic carry very well and the electric version have pickups, which allow you to plug into an amp, and thus are good for playing in larger spaces. The electric and acoustic versions are the same drum except for the pickup. Both electric and acoustic have great resonance and long sustaining notes.

The tongues of the Idiopan are available in two styles: Single and Dual Tone. (To be added to Artdrum. Please contact us if you have questions or to order.)

The original style is the Single Tone, which has one tone per tongue and each tongue on the Idiopan has adjustable tuning via a magnet. The newest style is a Dual Tone Tongue with adjustable tuning on the inner tongue.

Each Idiopan can be tuned to numerous scales using a simple magnetic system. Idiopans are available in various sizes and can be tuned to 100s of different scales. Multiple drums can be played together and you can arrange the tuning so a set of drums forms more octaves.

All Idiopans are crafted in the USA.
