Description
High-quality hand-made Conga de cabaça. It’s a drum made of a gourd.
This is a genuine, one of a kind drum that was entirely handcrafted from a strong, thick gourd with African goat skin rawhide stretched across and laced down with strong rawhide thong in a special lace design. We handle the entire gourd to keep the original special shape. We leave the drum head natural so it can breathe. This also gives the Conga de cabaça a real authentic sound! It really sounds like it is handmade!
The top has been meticulously sanded flat so that the goatskin can be stretched and dried to produce the best tones. It should be played with hands.
The natural gourd shape is beautiful to the eye and offers up a wonderful resonance. The shape resembles the known congas drum. But we craft it entirely from a single dried gourd. Its look and sound are beautiful!
Each piece is unique and hand-made. This means the sound of each instrument has slight differences from one to the other. But nevertheless, all of them looks and sounds beautiful!
Head of the drum comes in 3 diameter sizes:
- 6″ – Small
- 8″ – Medium
- 10″ – Big
The height of the drums is changing in relation to each gourd that makes the drum. The shapes of each gourd are so unique that we can’t define the length of the drum. This is the reason we define the drum sizes by the size of the drums cover (the playing area) diameter.
If we have a Conga de cabaça drum ready in the diameter size you ordered we will send you a picture of it and offer it to you. So you can tell us if you want it, or you want us to make you a new one.
