Structural features of the tongue drum
As mentioned above, the tongue drum was first made with the help of an almost hollow surface of a gas canister, but now its shape has changed and it has a structure similar to a hang drum. This instrument is a very young instrument that was first introduced to the world in 2007. The maker of the instrument was a woman who was interested in the hang drum but could not afford it due to financial difficulties, so she made an alternative. The current structure of the instrument is almost similar to the hang drum, except that it is much smaller in size. Also, unlike the hang drum, which is played by hand, this instrument is played with both the beat of the finger and the drum sticks. Unlike the hand-made hang drum, today's tongue drums are made with machines. This instrument has a lot of resonance and its notes vary from eight to ten depending on the skill of the musician. The tongue drum is tuned only once and will rarely need to be tuned again after that.
Music in Cologne
Cologne, once home to the Popkomm pop show and the German rock center from BAP to Klaus Lage is now less active in the music industry. Many independent artists, such as Peter Leach, Kelly, or Erdobble, appreciate this far-fetched position for its freedom. The father of pop music in Cologne are members of the international rock band Can. The genre of rock in music, which originated in the early 1970s, is now world-renowned. In addition, the city is very popular due to various music carnivals.
