Advanced Magnet 10-Pack

Magnets are used to tune your Idiopan steel tongue drum. Magnets are

not toys. They are very strong and must be handled with great care. Do

not let the magnets slam into each other or your Idiopan steel tongue

drum. Do not place magnets near electronics, such as cell phones. Read

the warning on the reverse side before you buy and use the magnets.

The Domina steel tongue drum comes pre-tuned to the C Major

pentatonic scale G3, C4, D4, E4, G4, A4, C5, D5 (see illustration below).

The highest pitches on the Domina are G3, C4, E4, F4, G4, B4, C5, E5

and can be tuned down to F#3, A#3, C#4, E4, F4, G#4, A4, C5 with the

included standard magnet pack.

The Domina advanced magnet pack allows you to tune the Domina

down to hundreds of additional scales. The lowest pitches achievable

are D3, F3, G#3, A#3, C4, D4, E4, G#4 (see chart on right). The pack

includes 10 magnets: 2 large (blue) and 8 x-large (black). The Domina

comes standard with 5 medium (green) and 3 large (blue) magnets.

Tune with a simple push or pull of the magnets up or down the tongues.

For best results, keep the magnets in the center of the tongues when

tuning. Add, remove or change magnet sizes to further adjust the pitch.

When stacking the magnets, always have the smallest magnets on top.

The two flat sides of each magnet represent the North and South polarities

(N/S); meaning each magnet has an arbitrary top and a bottom (A.).

When stacking magnets on the tongues for tuning, the magnets stay in

place better if they are all placed with the same side (bottom) against the

tongue. Therefore, it may be helpful to remove all the magnets from the

drum and pre-stack them before attaching to the tongues (B.). Create a

stack of magnets for each tongue according to the chart above. Set the

stacks on a metal surface in a circle with the same layout as the tongues (1,

2, 3...). Then make sure none of the stacks attract each other; do this slowly

and carefully so the stacks do not collide sharply together. If there is any

attraction between stacks, flip the stack up-side down and try again. Once

all the stacks are properly orientated, transfer them to the appropriate

tongue with the bottom of the stack against the tongue.

Here is a scale database website that will provide hundreds of scales

that the Idiopan can be tuned to with the advanced magnet pack:
