From Furniture to Frequency
Reclaimed teak carries decades of character within its grain — knots and colour variations that tell the story of its previous life. Repurposing this noble hardwood into a musical instrument is an act of creative sustainability.
Use it as the centrepiece of a sound bath or set it on your desk for mindful breaks throughout the workday.
Playing Tips for Reclaimed Teak
Strike the centre of each tongue with the included mallet for the purest fundamental tone. Moving toward the edges introduces brighter overtones for expressive variation.
Teak's dense grain means the drum only improves with age — regular playing helps open up the resonance as the wood settles into its new purpose.
