Handmade ouds, darbukas, handpans and santurs — built in our own workshops in Izmir, shipped worldwide from Italy.

If we wouldn't play it ourselves, we don't sell it.

Tapadum started because our founder — a musician — couldn't find traditional instruments that were actually built to be played. Most of what he found was decorative. So he went to the source: Turkey, Iran, and months in the workshops of master luthiers.

Today there are two workshops in Izmir, one for percussion and one for strings, with a specialist looking after each family of instrument. Every oud, baglama, santur, darbuka, daf, bendir, ney and handpan is inspected and set up by hand before it leaves us.

WHAT WE BUILD AND CURATE
Strings — oud, baglama, lavta, tanbur, kanun, santur, setar, tar
Percussion — darbuka, daf, riq, bendir, davul, tombak, handpan
Winds — ney, mey, kaval, zurna
Bowed — kemence, kabak kemane, kamancheh

Showroom — Villa Vezzano, Brisighella, Italy (by appointment)
Workshops — Izmir, Turkey
Shop — tapadum.com

🎼 Persian santur with mandal — a 12-bridge hammered dulcimer that changes key while you play.

🔑 The traditional santur is locked into a single diatonic tuning, so changing key means retuning course after course by hand. On this one, a row of mandal sharping levers runs along the bridges. Each lever lifts its course by a half-step at a touch, so the key changes mid-phrase instead of between pieces.

🎶 Twelve bridges (kharak) instead of the usual nine: every course sounds two registers depending on which side you strike, giving a wider working compass. Played with mezrab — light wooden mallets held between the fingers — for the rapid runs and long, overlapping decay the santur is known for.

🛠️ Built in our own strings workshop for players who move between Persian dastgah, Turkish, Arabic and contemporary repertoire within the same set, or who accompany singers who transpose.

📦 100 × 54 × 25 cm, 8.6 kg. Ships with gig bag, mezrab mallets and tuning key. Worldwide shipping from our atelier in Italy ✈️

☀️ Tapadum Summer Sale: 38% off — €1.450 → €899,23.

Rhythm shaped from clay.

Sercan Gider puts our Clay Darbuka through its paces — every strike
answered by the deep, warm resonance only a hand-thrown clay shell can
give. Each shell is hand-shaped by master potter Ahmet Tashomcu in our
İzmir workshop, then skinned and sound-tested by Mehmet Nihat San
before it ever leaves the bench.
