Sombaty Max Fatila
The Sombaty Max Fatila by Gawharet El Fan is a high-end Egyptian darbuka designed for percussionists looking for a large-format instrument with deep bass, strong projection and excellent stability.
With its 24 cm head diameter, a height of approximately 50 cm and a weight of around 7.5 kg, it offers a more imposing format than a standard Sombaty. This larger body delivers fuller bass, a broader sound and a powerful doum, while keeping the higher tones clear and precise.

This format is especially appreciated by percussionists playing Egyptian and Lebanese styles, as well as by musicians who want more depth and low-end presence than on a 23 cm Sombaty.
The Fatila model stands out for its spectacular dark mother-of-pearl decoration, enhanced by refined oriental marquetry. Its deep black base beautifully highlights the blue, green and iridescent reflections of the mother-of-pearl, giving the instrument a particularly elegant and striking visual identity.
Each darbuka is adjusted before shipping to ensure balanced tension and optimal response. It is delivered with a padded bag, a spare head and a tuning key.
Note: the fitted and replacement heads are made from recycled plastic. They may show slight cosmetic marks, without affecting the sound or performance of the instrument.
