The frame drum is the oldest and most common sort of drum.
There are many different kinds, all with their own names.
Because of the great diversity of names, we have gathered similar instruments of related cultures under a single name.

The Tar is a light, universal frame drum that is played with fingers in the ancient style, holding the drum in front of the body with one hand.
It has a rich voice and produces clear bass tones as well as compelling sidebeats.

The Airweight has a brilliant sound particularly rich in overtones, with a soft swelling bass.
