very versatile and a joy to play!

It is always HAPPY to do business with HAPI people! Keep it on......and FLY the HAPI flag much higher!!!!!!!!!

Nice clear sound. Pure and natural with nice overtones. I like to play it with my hands to get the best feeling of the drum. I think I'll only use the mallets in loud surroundings. It was a little heavier than expected, but the design is beautiful, it's nice to look on, and it is a joy to play. I've used it a lot the three days I've had it. The travel bag however was a disappointment. 'Cos it's so bulky that it needs a longer shoulder strap – or maybe better – backpack straps. I'm a big fellow and the bag is located just under my armpit, impossible to carry this way. Have to find a replacement!

I recently purchased this drum for my husband and he is thrilled by the sound. I play Celtic harp and we play together. The sounds blend perfectly. The service and delivery were flawless.
