Riq Siwa Blue 2 - Fish skin

It is mounted with a beautiful natural fish skin from southern Egypt. Particularly thin, this skin offers a precise response, great touch sensitivity and a delicate, warm and expressive sound.

Thanks to its 20 cm natural skin, this riq produces a more organic and nuanced sound than a synthetic-head model. The strokes are finer, the dynamics more lively, and the playing feel gains both precision and character.

This model features ten pairs of quality cymbals, offering bright resonance and a clear response for rhythmic ornaments. The balance between the fine natural skin and the presence of the cymbals makes it an excellent choice for musicians looking for an authentic, expressive and enjoyable Arabic riq.

Delivered with a padded case, this riq is a very good choice for percussionists seeking a traditional, elegant and musically precise instrument.
