TALKING DRUM - DONDO

The dondo, also known as the "lunar" drum is from the North West of Ghana. It is a double ended hour glass drum which in the rest of West Africa is known as the "Talking Drum". The drum is usually held under the left arm and played with a bent stick. The left arm is used to squeeze the leather strings which tightens the drum skin head and this changes the pitch. The tonal variation changes the drum's language.
