A characterful mid-century tumbadora drum dating to circa 1960, inspired by the golden age of Afro-Cuban jazz. With its dark lacquered shell, natural skin head and industrial steel tuning rods, this piece carries the rhythm of smoky dance halls and late-night casino orchestras. There is slight wear and age-related patina consistent with use, which does not affect performance; it may benefit from tuning to suit the player. A striking decorative statement or playable percussion instrument.
