  Gawharet El Fan Tabla

  Called tabla in Egypt and darbuka further north, this is the drum of Arabic classical and shaabi music. Gawharet El Fan's are aluminium shells inlaid with mother-of-pearl and shell, as much decorated object as instrument.

  Emin Darbuka

  Hand percussion · Turkey

  The darbuka is played with both hands across the head and the rim, and the Turkish style — a thin head, a sharp rim, and finger technique that runs at speed — is what these cast aluminium shells are voiced for.
