Don't expect to get much of a sound out of it - there's no bass at all, and the treble is clean but quiet - but it makes a really pretty desk toy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ But good for decor or as trophies for those who love ... *by Z***I on 9 March 2016* It's just too small. Trust me. But good for decor or as trophies for those who love Darbuk! ### ⭐⭐ Looks much better in the pics *by M***N on 17 November 2016* Looks much better in the pics. Isnt as good quality as you would expect from Meinl. The tone is a poor and "tinny". I'll admit I wasn't expecting a whole lot considering the price, but even so unfortunately it has disappointed. An average aesthetic piece at best. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50579617-meinl-percussion-mini-series-darbuka-mini-handdrum-hand-hammered-shell](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50579617-meinl-percussion-mini-series-darbuka-mini-handdrum-hand-hammered-shell) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
