Hand Made Instruments for all levels of Mastery
03/04/2026
Imagine this…
You’re sitting around a campfire.
Someone starts tapping a rhythm on a drum.
Someone else grabs a shaker.
Then these little gourds start clicking and dancing in the rhythm…
Suddenly the whole circle locks into the groove.
These are called Kiseng Kiseng.
Tiny instruments with a surprisingly big personality.
Each pair begins as a natural gourd grown on the Snuffbox Tree (Oncoba spinosa) in Senegal, West Africa. Every gourd grows differently, which means every instrument is unique.
When the gourds arrive here at Artisan Instruments, we:
• Clean and prepare each gourd
• Seal them with natural shellac
• Tie them with strong djembe rope
Then something magical happens…
A simple pair of gourds becomes a portable rhythm instrument you can take anywhere.
Campfires.
Drum circles.
Backyard jams.
Road trips.
Here’s a fun little nature fact most people don’t know:
The shellac finish comes from the female lac insect, which produces a natural resin humans have used for centuries as a protective coating.
So these instruments are literally a collaboration between:
🌳 A tree
🐞 A tiny insect
🪵 A craftsman
🥁 And whoever decides to play them.
That’s the kind of music story we love.

🌍 The Biggest Tongue Drum Ever 🎶
They say music speaks where words fail — and this one’s got a lot to say.
Here’s a little sound journey from the heart of Artisan Instruments… me playing the largest tongue drum we’ve ever built. The deep, resonant tones vibrate right through your chest — like the Earth itself is humming along.
Every note is hand-cut, hand-tuned, and made from recycled steel right here in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
This drum isn’t just an instrument — it’s a portal to rhythm, peace, and pure creative expression.
👉 Turn up the volume, close your eyes, and feel it.
👉 Tag someone who needs to experience this sound.
👉 Drop a 🌊 if you can feel the vibration.
