Tambora (musical instrument)
The tambora (from old French tabor over Spanish tambor , "drum") is a double- skin cylinder drum from the Dominican Republic , which is mainly used in the merengue . Traditionally the instrument is played lying on the lap, one side with a baton, the other with the bare hand. Original Tamboras have the membrane (mostly the skins of female and male goats) set in rattan and stretched with ropes.
