Tabor Drums for Sale

A Tabor Drum or Tambourine is a portable snare drum that is played with the help of a hand or using sticks or both. The Tabor word is derived from Latin word tambour that was used in the army for marching purposes to boost the morale of soldiers.

As far as construction is concerned, Tabor drum has a wooden shell shaped like a cylinder. It has two skin heads that is tightened by rope tension. It also contains a strap made of leather and an adjustable snare. The snare can be created with the help of a hemp or silk. The size of a tabor decides the sound and pitch of the instrument. For example, the larger the tambourine, the lower the pitch. The tabor is suspended by a strap from forearm.

The use of tabor is widespread all around the world for entertainment, spiritual, or military purpose. The snare size of a tabor is beaten with a stick or a naked hand. Morris Goldenberg was one of the most popular tabor players in the 20^th century. Tabor does not need any complex notes or difficult playing; the instrument can be played by simply striking the snare in an easy pattern that can be repeated several times.

The history of tambourine dates back to the medieval era in Europe. The early tabors were only 11-12 inches in diameter. The 13^th century tabors were 4 to 10 inch wide and the continued to evolve with time that changed in diameter and width. Tabor is still made from wood and was made for the outdoors. Tabor has always been played for dancing with regular beats. The historic documents also show that tabor was played with a horn that formed a tabor duo.
