At the bottom of the neck is a small bridge, followed by the tailblock, which has 4 wooden pegs where the strings wrap around.

The two heads are made from different materials; one head is made from a reddish brown leather which has been stretched and held in place with a thick, dark leather that is woven around the edges of the head; the other head is made from a thin animal skin parchment and is stretched and held in place with a rolled up piece of plaid fabric which has been wrapped in more animal skin parchment, it is unclear whether this head is attached via weaving, sewing, or some form of adhesive. The two heads are further secured and attached to one another with what appears to be gut thread that is woven through the material surrounding each head; a leather strip is wrapped around each set of the gut thread, this likely allows for the drum to be tuned. 2 loops of thick twine have been tied around the gut thread, 1 on each head, near the logo, 2 strips of fabric, one red and white, one blue and white, have been tied together and through these loops, forming a strap to carry, wear, or hang the drum. | |
