This Egyptian doumbek is 11" wide X 17.5" tall and has an 8.5" playing surface. The clear standard synthetic head is easily tuned with the 6 tuning bolts in the collar. Beautiful and intricate inlay of real mother-of-pearl makes this drum a work of art. You can see pinwheels, snowflakes and stars.
Actual weight is approximately 9 pounds. A tuning tool, padded nylon case and extra standard synthetic head are included in this set.
Patterns may vary slightly from drum to drum. All mosaic inlays are delicate. It is not uncommon for small pieces of mosaic to dislodge. This is especially true around the edges and on the collar. With a drum’s curved surface, this is to be expected. Missing inlay is not considered a defect or blemish. Your drum is unique and small irregularities should just be considered birth marks.
