Gawharet El Fan Classic 17" Mother of Pearl Darbuka Drum - Handcrafted Percussion Instrument for Professional Musicians & Beginners (Black Canyon) | Perfect for Live Performances, Studio Recording & Middle Eastern Music

This was a great dumbek and my husband loves it - the drum is so beautiful as well and the seller was quick to respond with a question!! Would recommend for sure as we are Armenians and this compliments our family gatheringsThe drum is beautiful and I would order Gawharet el fan again. The sound is good and the inlay work is gorgeous. The Doum is not where I want it to be but that can be fixed with fine tuning.Looks great and receive it very fast. I love itThere was some kind of residue on the gold seal on it and smudges on the drum itself. It sounds great. But I think I was sold a used drum.I've been a drummer for 30 years but only recently got into hand drumming.This is my first time owning or playing a darbuka, so I can't comment much on playability. However, this thing is beautiful! It appears to be very well made and I'm very happy with the quality!While I'm certain that I'll need to tweak the tuning, the sound is very nice as it came and is very consistent around the head.It was packaged well and arrived in perfect condition.I hope to learn how to play it, but if nothing else it matches my carpeting perfectly and looks great in the living room! =)This is my 2nd darbuka, great quality, solid, good weight with the ceramic body. Sounds great, very loud. Pattern is beautiful.It my first time I write a review but this buyer is amazing , easy to contact fast replay to all my questions and very nice, it’s the BEST High quality DARBOUKA ,shipping was fast in 10 day between ordering and receiving , I highly recommend this buyer .I’m very happy with my purchase! It was exactly at advertised in terms of size, shape, and design. It sounds great too. These MOP drums look much better in person than they do online. The photos don’t do them justice.
