Introducing the Red, White, and Blue Two-Headed Drum, a captivating piece that embodies the spirit of colonial times with its vibrant colors and traditional design. This exquisite drum features two goat skin heads mounted with wooden rings on a sturdy wooden frame, complete with rope and tuning rings for optimal sound quality. The term "tabor" originates from the Latin word for drum, and today, it refers to the two-headed squat drums often associated with the Fife and Drum. This drum is perfect for enthusiasts looking to add a touch of history to their collection.
The tabor's thin shell resembles a frame drum shell with two heads, traditionally crafted from tin to ensure a lightweight design for prolonged play. Musicians typically hang the drum from the forearm, striking the head with a single stick, allowing for a clear and resonant sound. It is important to note that the tabor should never be played on a drum stand, as this would muffle its unique sound. Known by various names across different cultures, the tabor is a versatile instrument that comes in multiple sizes. Don't miss the opportunity to own this remarkable piece of musical history. Order now and experience the rich heritage of the tabor drum.

I was looking for the right equipment for my Camac Isolde Celtic harp. I did NOT want to install the Dusty Strings pick-ups- seemed like way too much to add. This little gizmo was easy to install with the little pictures on placement- like, less than five minutes easy. I plugged the pickup into my new Roland Mobile Cube and it’s perfect! I don’t hear any sound distortion, and I think this will be just right when playing background music for noisier environments. Super happy with this!

I was excited to receive this kit. I do have several banjos already; however, I did not have a mountain banjo. I have built gourd banjos and ekontings (I went to Gambia in 2004 and 2007 to learn how to play and make them) from scratch, so I am not a beginner in terms of making instruments. I had a lot of fun putting the kit together. I do have a few observations regarding tips or slight modifications in the instruction manual, if interested.
Thanks!

I am very happy with the quality of the instrument. I am of Puerto Rican decent and it reminds me of my childhood, watching the musicians and learning to play myself. It is a beautiful guiro and sounds amazing.

It's great to be able to buy a hurdy gurdy in the US without having to wait for 6 months to a year or more. The Aplo is a quality entry level instrument that produces beautiful sound. It resonates very well and there are no buzzes or squeaks. Workmanship is very good. I got mine cottoned, rosined and tuned in a half hour. The transaction was easy and it arrived within a week.
I've been able to play some tunes on it with only a few hours of practice. It's going to be a lot of fun.

I love it, the entonation is really very good (sorry for my bat english).
Regards!
