Muzikkon Tabor Drum 10 inch Red
An authentic medieval tabor with a single snare, using only best quality goat skin heads. The two goat skin heads are tied to a wooden frame with hemp rope.
ThePlaying surface is about 9.75″ and the drum is about 4.5″ deep. Each drum is shipped with a pair of playing sticks.
The shell is traditionally tin so the light weight instrument could be carried, and played, for long periods of time. The heads are usually rope tuned with a snare on one side.
The tabor is suspended by a strap from the forearm, somewhere between the elbow and wrist.
“Tabor” comes from the Latin word for drum.Today we use the term tabor or refer to the two headed squat drums associated with the Fife and Drum. The thin shell of thetabor, looks like a frame drum shell with two heads.
They should never be played on a drum stand; which would muffle the sound. Today Tabors have a variety of names that reflect the cultures that play them as well as the different sizes of drum.
