Tombak
Tombak, a goblet-shaped percussion, is at the heart of Persian classical music and holds a special place in Iran's musical traditions. Typically crafted from a single piece of wood with a goatskin top, this versatile instrument creates an incredible range of sounds—from deep, resonant tones to sharp, lively beats. Played using a mix of finger and palm techniques, the Tombak's rhythmic patterns bring Persian music to life, serving both as a steady foundation and a captivating solo voice.
