FOLK & PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS FROM INDIA

Occasionally we run across unique and hard to find folk and percussion instruments, there's no guarantee that we will get more than are in stock of any particular item. Some are "folk" instruments and so can be a little rough but are quite playable, other percussion instruments are professional instruments.

Gubguba

GUBGUBA: Also called the KHAMAK, GUBA, etc. is an instrument similar to a small drum with a single drumhead with a string fixed to one end of the skin. It is plucked with a pick (not included, you can use anything really!) and percussive notes are produced by controlling the tension of the string. Used in folk music in Bengal and to accompany Baul and Phakir singers. We have a large one and a small one with a single string. Here's a link to what they sound like! (in Real Audio format)
