MEINL Artisan Edition Tar – A Masterpiece for the Discerning Hand Drummer
The MEINL Artisan Edition Tar is a beautifully crafted frame drum designed for serious players and traditional music enthusiasts. Handbuilt with exceptional attention to detail, this instrument offers warm, resonant tone, sensitive response, and a refined aesthetic that sets it apart.
Crafted from Siam Oak and finished in an elegant matte Walnut Brown, the Tar features a hand-selected goat skin head chosen for its uniform thickness, ensuring even tone and feel across the entire playing surface. A specially designed bearing edge by master drum builder Norbert Eckermann enhances the drum's articulation and sustain.
Inside, the Tar houses an internal lug tuning system, allowing precise tuning without interrupting the clean lines of the shell. Additional player-focused details include a scalloped thumb notch for comfortable grip and a hot-branded MEINL logo inside the shell.
