Description
Atabaque
All Atabaques come complete with tuning wedges and stand.
Atabaque Measurements :
Instrument height without stand: approx. 35in
Instrument height with stand: approx. 44.5in
Diameter of head: approx. 11.5in
TUNING INSTRUCTIONS :
In order to tune the Atabaque, simply tap the top of the wooden wedges (with a rubber mallet only); the force on the wedges will impinge on the lower rim by stretching ropes and consequently tuning the leather drum head.
Important: Always remove the atabaque from the stand before tuning, and remember to loosen after playing.

Thank you for all your patience during the conversations via email. You two were prompt and professional. With the help of the Capoeira community(C.M. Carcara – Grupo Mandinga), I received my atabaque without issues. You two went to great lengths to make sure that quality product made it to North America safely and ultimately safely to capoeiristas. This atabaque is a fine addition to our roda.
Muito Obrigado,
