RAV Moon D Hijaz
Bright, Charismatic & Middle Eastern-Inspired
The RAV Moon D Hijaz is a compact steel tongue drum with a bright, expressive character inspired by the dramatic colour of the Hijaz scale. Smaller and lighter than the RAV Vast, it’s made for portability without losing the signature RAV tone.
This tuning has a mysterious, memorable sound where melody and rhythm sit close together. It is a strong choice for players who want something more colourful and characterful than a simple calming scale.
Why You’ll Love It
- Light and compact – easy to carry, easy to store
- Bright, charismatic tone with a distinctive Hijaz colour
- Beginner-friendly layout where melody and percussion meet
- Well suited to expressive, rhythmic and modal playing
- Durable steel build with stable tuning
Why the D Hijaz Scale Works So Well
D Hijaz has a bold, instantly recognisable flavour. It is often associated with Middle Eastern and flamenco-inspired sounds, giving the RAV Moon a more dramatic and adventurous voice.
The scale has enough tension and colour to feel expressive, while still keeping the RAV Moon’s easy, intuitive playing style. Simple patterns can sound rhythmic, vivid and complete without needing advanced technique.
It’s ideal for:
- Middle Eastern-inspired melodies
- Flamenco-style colour and rhythmic playing
- Players who want a brighter, more distinctive scale
D Hijaz is a lovely choice when you want the RAV Moon to feel animated, colourful and a little story-like.
