TABOR DRUM
historic reproduction designed by The
G An
Early Music Shop of Bradford, England.
B
The English word “tabor” is derived from the
Latin word for drum, and we use the term tabor
to refer to the two headed squat drums associated
with the Fife and Drum. The thin shell of the
tabor, looks like a frame drum shell with two
heads. 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.

Singing bowls are used for meditation,
relaxation, health, and personal well being.
They are made from an alloy of metals, called
Panchaloha, and have a beautiful tone. These are
just a few of our many singing bowl styles.
The Tambourine is descended from a long
narrow drum found in France. Cultures
around the world have altered the style, and we
have many of these variations.
