* Wood (usually jacaranda or mahogany)
* Goatskin
* Metal (for the rims)
* Nylon (for the strings)
Manufacturing steps:
1. Cutting and shaping the wood: The wood is cut into the desired shapes for the body of the instrument.
2. Attaching the goatskin: The goatskin is stretched over the body of the instrument and secured with glue or nails.
3. Adding the metal rims: The metal rims are attached to the body of the instrument to hold the goatskin in place.
4. Adding the strings: The nylon strings are attached to the body of the instrument and tensioned to create the desired pitch.
5. Finishing: The instrument is sanded and polished to give it a smooth finish.
