This attractive percussion instrument is known as a bombo (drum) in Peru and is often used during magical Andean rituals. Bull hide is stretched over the wood cylinder, while nylon cords tautly adhere the beating surface to the frame. A cotton strap – elaborated in the Cuzco style – is slung over the neck, allowing the musician to strike either end of the drum. This piece offers an energetic accent to any space. Drumstick included.
