Small Davul Drum

This small rope tension drum traditional to the Aegean is played over the shoulder or on the lap with two playing sticks. Also called “daoulaki”, it accompanies the island bagpipes and lyras. The drum body and flesh-hoops are made from beechwood and finished with a walnut matt stain. Two goatskins of different thicknesses offer a range of sound further enhanced by the tuning capability offered by the rope tension system.
