"The atabaque (/\u0251\u02D0t\u0259\u02C8b\u0251\u02D0ki\u02D0/; Brazilian Portuguese: [ata\u02C8baki]) is a tall, wooden, Afro-Brazilian hand drum. The shell is made traditionally of Jacaranda wood from Brazil. The head is traditionally made from calfskin. A system of ropes are intertwined around the body, connecting a metal ring near the base to the head. Because of this tuning mechanism the drum is sometimes known as 'Atabaque de Corda'."@en . . .
