If you want maximum depth and room presence while keeping the dry, assertive cowhide character, the 50 cm model is perfect. This size is no longer an everyday instrument – it is for ceremonial moments, rituals, intense work.
Care tips
- Assess the skin tension before playing – large surfaces react more strongly to the environment.
- Store in a stable, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Play with two hands or rest on a stand.
- Soft, deep strokes bring out the best of its character.
- A padded case is strongly recommended for transport.
