The Zenko is a stainless-steel tongue drum (also called a ā€œtankā€ drum or ā€œhankā€) designed and created by Metal Sounds in France. The drum can be played by both beginners and experienced musicians alike. The Akebono scale is a C minor pentatonic scale. A G3 in the center gives a deep bass that can be used as a pivot. This scale is a pentatonic mode (5 notes that are repeated) that originates in Japan. This is one of the best scales for relaxation and music therapy.
