"When I started producing Sundrums in 2012, there was no similar tool on the market in the Czech Republic. In 6 years the situation has changed and with a little searching it is possible to find similar tools from various, mostly foreign manufacturers. Those 6 years of tireless and joyful development resulted in a very unique musical instrument.

I called it Sundrum (something like a sun drum) because its sound and vibration remind me of the glow of the Sun, which permeates the whole being.

Instruments of this type are generally called hank drums (derived from the more well-known Hang drum or hand + tank), steel tongue drums or tank drums are becoming more and more popular due to their ingenious simplicity, easy play and colorful, hypnotic sound."
