Instruments similar to the darbuka in various shapes and sizes were used by civilizations in Anatolia, Mesopotamia and Central Asia in ancient times. In more recent periods the darbuka continued to change and develop. The instrument is known by different names that were given at different times and in different places. These include: dümbek, dümbelek, deplek, deblek, dönbek, tömbek, darbeki and debulak. This percussion instrument was originally made from baked clay, copper, aluminum, various metals, plaster and porcelain fibers. Generally speaking, the darbuka resembles a pipe with a narrow end and was formerly covered with leather - today synthetic materials are preferred for its manufacture. The skin is passed over a band and the instrument is tuned by stretching the skin with screws. T.
