Lug Atabaque

If you’d be wandering around Salvador or other especially cultural regions of Brazil, it would be not long until you’d see a Lug-tuned Atabaque. This is one of the most common forms of Atabaque mounting and tuning, for its ease of use.

A staple in Capoeira Groups, Candomblé, Umbanda, and Samba groups, the Lug Atabaque gradually supplanted the rope-tuned Atabaque for its simplicity and convenience.

Tuned like congas using a simple wrench, the Lug-tuned Atabaque can be readily tuned in minutes, yielding higher or lower pitches quickly.

This Atabaque, as well as the other Atabaques in the store, is made from Massaranduba and Ipê-Amarelo woods, Hard and resistant materials that are often used for building houses, supporting roofs with heavy weights boosting life-long durability.
