My Story

Handpans/Tongue drums are my life

I got my first RAV Vast Tongue drum in 2017. It was a B Celtic Minor and that's when I fully fell in love.

​

I’ve been in music my whole life and RAV instruments completely changed the way I could sing/talk through an instrument. Every note and song is a representation of what my soul was feeling or needing to receive for that moment in time.

​

My collection is 3 RAV Vasts and 3 RAV Pans with a 7th RAV Vast that belongs to my partner.

​

My scales:

RAV Vast: B Celtic Minor, D Celtic Minor, G Pygmy.

RAV Pan: F Pygmy, D Celtic Minor, D Major.

​

Summer of 2017, my heart told me to look at the RAV Vasts. RAV Vast advised to choose the scale that would speak your heart, that scale was B Celtic Minor. I didn't know why I would need it until that fall after I was in the hospital with major health issues. It helped with my healing.

When I left the hospital, I became obsessed with meditation and calmness in the present moment. The first drum helped so much. Then in 2018, I was battling depression and was led to the woods and another drum. At each step since that first drum I found additional scales for my circumstances and to help my outlook. Mystery, stillness and pondering. Healing of wounds. Happiness, meditation and more.

Am I obsessed with these instruments and their sound healing? Yes. I am dedicated to them as well.

I recommend both RAV Vasts and RAV Pans to anyone I see. They have healed and changed me as a person.
