In the meantime here's how I made this little instrument.
do before it!!) I wanted the feel of a very old drum, one that had been played
for many decades. I aged the 'skin' by dry brushing with burnt umber and then
added some nail detail to the sides as decoration. I also added a black rim
around the bottom edge.
the tension strings around it and glue the ends to the underside of the top edge
so it looked like the drum was laced.
