Pair of large, metal, castanet-like musical instruments which are the primary rhythmic component of gnawa music, a distinctive, Southern Moroccan religious and musical tradition.

Along the melodies of the gimbri (low-pitched, leather-string traditional kind of guitar), sometimes accompanied by a tbal (drum), this pair of wrought iron pliers plays a continuous, trance arousing rhythmical pattern, as a background to litany singing. The player handled by placing his/her thumbs inside a leather-string loop.
Hand made in Marrakesh by experienced craftsmen.

Length: 28 cm
Leather or synthetic string.

    These drums sound pretty good. However, they were in an advanced state of rust when I received them and I had to treat them with several kinds of rust inhibitors before I could use them. (Translated review)

    A high quality karkabou, with an interesting and very typical sound. For my part, I still prefer the medium model that I find easier to use, but I don't have a lot of practice. Very fast delivery. (Translated review)
