Tuning = A Akebono (A-B-C-E-F-A)

The Poppy Petal Drum combines striking visual impact with soft, expressive sound. Featuring vibrant red petals surrounding a dark central drum, it creates a memorable musical feature that celebrates one of the world's most recognized flowers.

Tuned to the A Akebono scale (A-B-C-E-F-A), the Poppy Petal Drum produces distinctive, evocative tones that lend themselves naturally to melodic exploration and improvisation. Soft mallets encourage gentle play, while the symbolism of the poppy adds an additional layer of meaning in remembrance gardens, community spaces, public landscapes, and educational environments.
