Classic Cantabile ND-14 All Natural Frame Drum 14\"

Natural Sound In Its Most Primal Form!

The Classic Cantabile ND-14 All Natural Frame Drum 14\" pairs a solid ash frame with genuine natural hide and a consistently natural selection of materials. The classic frame drum, also known as a hand drum, impresses with its warm, characterful tone and direct response. You can play it with your hands or with the included beater, making it suitable for rhythmic playing as well as meditative, relaxing and deliberately sound-focused applications.

Solid Frame of Natural Ash

The ND-14 rests on a sturdy solid ash frame. The natural wood gives the drum an authentic, original appearance while supporting its distinctive tone. At a wall thickness of 12 mm, the frame delivers a robust construction without sacrificing the classic, handheld character of a frame drum. The 35.6 cm diameter corresponds to the popular 14\" size and provides a balanced playing surface for various striking techniques.

Genuine Natural Hide With Individual Character

For the playing surface we use genuine natural hide. That gives each frame drum its own look and unique character. The hide is a natural product, so variations in color, pattern and texture are to be expected. These differences are not defects but typical hallmarks of the natural material and make every instrument visually unique. At the same time, the natural hide contributes to the lively, warm and organic timbre of the hand drum.

Committed to Natural Materials

The ND-14 focuses on the deliberate use of natural materials. Wood, natural hide and leather shape both the appearance and the playing feel of the drum. On the back you'll find a leather cross secured with a cord. This traditional construction offers a practical way to hold the drum securely while playing and underlines the instrument's original, handcrafted character.

Playable With Hands Or Beater

Depending on the sound you want, you can play the frame drum directly with your hands or with the included beater. Hands let you shape dynamics and tonal colors very directly. The beater, by contrast, allows for clearly defined attacks and a powerful, present drum sound. Even with its intentionally simple, non-tunable design, the ND-14 offers versatile possibilities for rhythmic accompaniment and free sound shaping.

For Rhythm, Meditation And Mindful Soundscapes

Thanks to its natural materials, pared-back construction and warm sound, the frame drum especially appeals to people interested in meditation, spirituality, esoterica or natural sound instruments. At the same time it is an uncomplicated frame drum for anyone seeking a direct connection to rhythm and percussion. Its simple playability makes it ideal for spontaneous sessions, sound experiments and rhythmic accompaniment without the need for prior tuning or elaborate setup.

Non-Tunable, Uncomplicated Design

The Classic Cantabile ND-14 is intentionally built as a non-tunable frame drum. This keeps the instrument focused on straightforward handling and its natural core character. With a height of 5 cm the frame remains pleasantly compact and easy to grip. The 35.6 cm diameter also provides enough head area for expressive strikes, subtle accents and varied rhythms.
