Description: | The tabor and pipe traditionally accompanied Morris dancing aound Oxfordshire. The drum was struck with a single stick, held in the player's right hand, while the pipe was held in the left hand.
Tabor, double membrane frame drum. The shallow cylindrical shell is of brass. The edges of the skins are lapped round narrow flesh hoops, that are secured by deeper wooden counterhoops. Five pairs of hooks bent from plate metal secure each of the counterhoops. Five long screws with eyes connect the hooks together, engaging with counterthreads in the lower hooks. The lower skin is cut away to show the internal construction. Red, white and blue striped ribbons are tied between two of the screws. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | wood hide tabors textile frame drums | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-15739 |
