Benefit
This drum has a distinct personality. It gets a rating of "slightly more challenging" because it's not a widely-familiar scale and not as "cheerful" as a major scale. However, as with all Manastone steel tongue drums, all the notes are in scale. That means it's in perfect harmony with itself, so it's easy to make it sound good.
This scale has minor chords within it, so it gives a feeling of mystery, excitement, and open-endedness. You may recognize this scale from Flamenco music or dance. It will conjure feelings of passion, expressiveness, and images of swirling gypsy dancers and good wine.

I got my F Big Bear yesterday and I can't put it down. It is absolutely beautiful. Family and friends all love it and I'm pretty sure they'll be potential customers in the near future. I played it in a public restaurant outside today and people couldn't believe what they were hearing. Many of them asked if it was electrically powered or amplified. I live in Miami, FL and I can't wait to show my city this drum. Thank you so much for your quality product. Well worth the money.
