Moktak Korean Drum

Description

This Korean moktak drum is a lovely piece of craftsmanship, carved from apricot wood.  It comes with a wooden striker.  The sound of this instument is crisp and excellent.  Unlike the typical Japanese moktak, the moktak is made to be hand-held, and comes with a generous hand grip.  Made with beautiful apricot wood.

The Moktak and moktak 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.
