The Sombaty Melanite by Gawharet El Fan is one of the brand’s true best sellers. It stands out with a particularly elegant and original finish: the body is first entirely covered with mother-of-pearl, then hand-painted in black so that subtle shimmering reflections appear underneath depending on the light. The result is both sober and sophisticated, with a visual effect that changes according to the angle and the surrounding lighting. This makes the Sombaty Melanite a striking instrument, refined without being overly flashy, and especially appealing for musicians looking for a darbuka with real visual personality.

It features a height of 48 cm, a head diameter of 23 cm and an approximate weight of 6.3 kg. This larger format offers excellent playing comfort, strong stability and a fuller, deeper sound than more compact models.

Its sound is powerful, round and resonant, with deep bass, a clear “doum” and crisp “tak” tones. The Sombaty format is especially appreciated by players looking for a rich, expressive and well-projected sound, suitable for both regular practice and performance.

With its deep black finish, subtle mother-of-pearl reflections and powerful Sombaty sound, the Sombaty Melanite is an excellent choice for percussionists who want a serious, elegant and distinctive Egyptian darbuka.
