Bendir
Frame drum used in spiritual practices, celebrations and traditional music.
The bendir is a traditional frame drum widely used in Tunisia in Sufi ceremonies and celebrations. Handcrafted with goat skin stretched over a wooden frame, it produces deep, warm and resonant tones. Each bendir is unique: artisans carefully select the wood, prepare the skin, and tune the drum by tightening the skin with heat to achieve the desired sound.
