What is alloy carburizing steel?

Alloy carburizing steel tongue drums offer bright, resonant tones with rich overtones, long sustain, and excellent durability. They resist rust, hold tuning well, and are ideal for performance or outdoor use. Carbon steel drums produce warmer, softer tones with fewer overtones and shorter sustain, making them suitable for meditation or casual play. However, they require more maintenance and are less durable. While carbon steel is more affordable, alloy carburizing steel is generally considered superior in tone, longevity, and stability. Your choice depends on your sound preference, environment, and budget.

Which Is Superior?

It depends on your priorities.
