About the Item

Tanggu drum.
The tanggu (堂鼓; pinyin: tánggǔ, pronounced [tʰɑ̌ŋkù]; literally "ceremonial hall drum"; sometimes spelled tang gu) is a traditional Japanese drum from the 19th century. It is medium in size and barrel-shaped, with two heads made of animal skin, and is played with two sticks.
The tanggu is usually suspended by four rings in a wooden Stand photo.
The Tanggu (Drum) is known as "Tonggu". During the Qing dynasty, it was called "Zhanggu". Its skin is normally made of buffalo’s hide. The pitch and tone of the sound produced are not definite. It depends on the strength and which part of the drum skin is being hit.
