Description
This Korean moktak drum is a lovely piece of craftsmanship, carved from beautiful apricot wood. It comes with a wooden striker. The sound of this instrument is crisp and excellent. Unlike the typical Japanese moktak, this moktak is made to be hand-held, and comes with a generous hand grip.
Moktaks are known as a Fish Drums, for they are roughly in the shape of a fish. It is customarily used to keep time for chanting and reminds practitioners to be wakeful during their recitation. A fish never sleeps! Our Moktak is made by a craftswoman in Korea.
Our Moktak now comes in two sizes!
Small: 5.5″ long, 3″ wide, 3″ tall, 11 oz. weight.
Large: 7.25″ long, 4″ wide, 4″ tall, 14 oz. weight.

Also very nice sound. I can’t imagine how they managed to hollow out the carving. It is whole, not two halves joined, unless the seam is completely invisible. Thank you.
