Lastu lainehilla (A Chip on the Waves) is a contemplative Finnish folk song whose imagery of drifting on water perfectly matches the steel tongue drum's gentle, lapping resonance. The arching phrases rise and fall like waves, each high note shining briefly before settling back into calm. The moderate tempo and open, breathing phrases make it a meditative piece ideal for players seeking a quietly expressive Finnish melody.
How to play Lastu lainehilla on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Lastu lainehilla.
