The tambourine is an entire philosophy that has no nationality and originates in the Universe. Every tambourine seeks its owner. Today, each of you can join the mysterious world of the enigmatic Far North, make an exclusive gift, or bring a piece of the ancient mystery of the original ethnic groups of the harsh polar region into your home. Our traditional Nenets tambourines, made from reindeer skin, will help you with this.

I make the frame of the tambourine from plywood. Resonators are attached to the outer side of the frame, giving the tambourine a resemblance to the sun. A comfortable handle is fixed inside the instrument – in shape it resembles Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man". A "kamka" is made for each tambourine as part of the set. This is a small stick with soft fawn fur on the end.

Meanwhile, the tambourine is not just a beautiful souvenir that enlivens the interior. The tambourine has magical properties. The body responds to the sound of the tambourine. Shamans start slowly, weakly, quietly, then the sounds build up; this rhythm can induce a trance. It's not like driving nails.

The tambourine is a guide to other worlds; wherever you direct it, it will lead you. Shamans use it as a guide to the spirit world, let's say, it is intangible.
Our tambourines are made in the shape of a sun, each resonator like a ray of sunshine. In the north, there is a lot of sun in summer, but no sun in winter.
