Japanese drums made by applying paper tubes
紙管を利用した締太鼓
Cow leather, horse leather, etc have been used for conventional Japanese drums called “taiko” with natural wood used for their shells. Therefore, they are very expensive. We developed new Japanese drums called “New Percussion Yamako” with their shells made of recycled paper tubes and batter heads made of canvas. They are marketed as the eco-friendly musical instruments with reasonable prices. Changing the canvas colors and fabric materials enable different color variations and sound quality. Besides this, it is also possible to bind drums together and build them up into a large set of drums.
従来の締太鼓は、皮部分に牛や馬などの皮を使用し、胴部分に自然木を使用しているため、非常に高価でした。当社は、皮部分にテントシート、胴部分に再生紙管を利用した締太鼓「新打楽器ヤマコ」を開発し、安価で自然環境に配慮した製品として提供しています。テントシートの色や材質を取り替えることで、カラーバリエーションや音質を変えることができるほか、複数の太鼓を結束させ、太鼓全体を組み上げることも可能です。
