This hand drum has a diameter of 7.5 inches and was strung with a goat skin. The frame is made from the Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg, a rubber tree with excellent sound characteristics that originally grew deep in the Brazilian jungle. Today, these trees are grown on an eco-friendly plantation in Asia. Only spent trees that no longer produce rubber are used to build furniture and musical instruments, among other things. The frame has a depth of 2.25 inches, allowing you to easily apply pressure to the sheet to vary pitch. Attached to the frame are 3 shells that produce a clear sound.
