Rare Artisan Octagonal Ocean Drum – Signed & Dated 9/2011
For sale is a beautiful, professional-grade handcrafted Ocean Drum. Unlike modern synthetic versions, this drum features dual natural rawhide heads stretched over a solid octagonal wood frame, providing a warm, organic resonance that plastic heads cannot replicate.
Key Features:
Immersive Sound: Filled with small internal beads that create a soothing "falling rain" or "crashing wave" effect when tilted. Perfect for sound healing, meditation, or cinematic foley work.
Custom Craftsmanship: This drum was custom-commissioned in September 2011. It is hand-inscribed on the frame: "Made for Lynn by Artisan's signature - 9/2011."
Premium Build: Features an 8-sided (octagonal) frame and a meticulously braided rawhide handle for a secure, comfortable grip during performance.
Condition: Excellent "seasoned" condition. The rawhide is tight, the lacing is secure, and the wood frame is solid. As a natural material, the hide shows minor character marks and scuffs consistent with age, but no tears or structural damage.
Dimensions: 19.5" x 3"
Whether you are a sound therapist, a percussionist, or a collector of fine folk instruments, this is a soulful, one-of-a-kind piece with 15 years of "cured" resonance.
