Darbuka Comfort Qasr

Its Comfort format, with a 22 cm head and a height of approximately 43 cm, offers an excellent balance between sound depth, projection and playing comfort. It produces deep, generous Doum notes while maintaining clear and precise Tak strokes, with a quick response under the fingers.

The Qasr stands out for its balanced and versatile sound, suitable for both traditional oriental repertoire and more modern playing styles. Its relatively compact size provides very good ergonomics while retaining enough projection for ensemble playing or stage use.

With its iconic design and characteristic mother-of-pearl work, the Qasr perfectly reflects the classic Gawharet El Fan style: an elegant, expressive and instantly recognizable Egyptian darbuka.
