Product Description

The Tabla is a goblet shaped Egyptian hand drum. It is a member of the Doumbek family of drums. In Egypt the style of playing is distinct. The neck of the drum is usually wide and so it lets the sound go out quickly, which makes the sound crisp and loud. The earlier ones made in Egypt, of clay, many times have goat or fish skin heads. The really nice ones, they paint or inlay with mother of pearl. Sometimes they inlay with bone, wood or plastic, whatever material they have around. A lot of the designs come from life, from masks, or from carpets. Modern tablas can be made of aluminum. ... Doumbeks: Drums in this family are goblet shaped, and played with the hands. Their sounds range from very deep to high. ... Traditionally, the doumbek was made of clay, with a head of goat or fish skin. Some are inlaid with bits of shell, wood, or plastic. Today many of these drums are made of modern materials, such as aluminum, with a Mylar head. They may be embossed, painted, or covered with vinyl. Others are made of copper, and sometimes plated with brass or chrome. ... The Doumbek comes from the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Persia. In Egypt they call it tabla. In Israel it is the doumbek, darbeke in Syria, tombak in Persia, darbuga in Morocco. ... Traditionally the doumbek would be accompanied. A Middle Eastern ensemble could include the riq (Arabic tambourine) and dof (frame drum), and some melodic instruments, such as the ney and long flute, the oud (the Middle Eastern lute) and the violin, kanun or santur, in Persia. The doumbek is the main instrument for folk music and belly dance, because of its wide range of sounds. It's been used in pop music, fusion, drum circles, and therapy. ... Read more

Don't Get Too Excited about the Inlay Pattern!
Great drum, comes with extra head and 2-compartment bag, which I wasn't expecting.Nice bonus.But, big BUT!!, I had looked at many drums of this type and in this price range, and chose this particular one, even though it was a tad more expensive, because I fell madly in love with the inlay pattern.The drum that arrived was inlay, all right, but not the same pattern!Not as detailed.Not as pretty.I am disappointed with the appearance, but happy enough with the sound to keep it.So if you buy this drum, be prepared for a random choice of inlay, with great sound, extra head, and really nice bag. ...

Product Description

The harmonium is an Indian musical instrument, somewhat akin to the early American pump organ. The piano-like keyboard is played with the right hand, while pumping the bellows with the left. Harmoniums give an amazing amount of good sound and music, even for the beginner with little skill or experience. Their mellow, warm-sounding tone blends well with the human voice; thus they are especially well-suited for individual or group singing. ... Read more

Saroyan Zills the only one to buy!!
Saroyan zills are the only zills I reccomend, the only ones I use, and the only ones I sell.The quality is excellant, none better to my way of thinking.Look no further for your zills.

A must have for every belly dancer!
Saroyan zils are a *must* for any belly dancer. They are excellent quality, a great price, and they just feel right in your hands. I have tried other big brand zils and found they felt clunky. Saroyans are like silk!

However, you can save a few dollars if you buy them directly from Saroyan's website. :)

PERFECT beginner zil...
Saroyan Nefertiti zils are what 90% of all of the local belly dance students start out with...as a matter of fact-my instructor only recommends two brands-Saroyan and Turquoise. Beware of cheap "no-name" zils which are lower in quality and do not have a clear tone. These are small, light, and have a nice pitch/tone. Great for beginner througha dvanced Middle Eastern dancers! ... Read more

Digging my Didgeridoo
I'm well satisfied with this purchase...(-:

At 5 foot tall this instrument is a bit heavy
for the kids. It's an awesome sight though.
The Indonesian artwork is fantastic,the sound
is even more impressive. Right out of the box I
was droning my lips numb. It has a nice rich bass
sound that is truly aboriginal...(-; This is a nice one
for the price. I would recomend staying away from the
cheaper synthetics, and get yourself a functional
wooden piece of art instead...peace ... Read more

The flatback teardrop body is made of walnut, and the top of spruce. It has a somewhat smaller size and shorter scale than many octave mandolins, thus making it easier to hold and finger. Tuning is GDAE which is one octave below the mandolin. Can also be tuned as a long scale mandola with the proper strings. ... Read more
