Introducing the Nefertiti Sombaty Plus Darbuka — a show-stopping instrument handcrafted in Egypt by Arabian Instruments. Inspired by the elegance of Queen Nefertiti, this darbuka blends ancient Egyptian luxury with modern performance power, making it the ultimate choice for professionals who want to stand out.
Built from premium aluminum, this darbuka features a reinforced Sombaty Plus body — heavier and more resonant than the standard model. Its open-bottom design delivers deep, booming “Doom” tones, while the 8-peg tuning system ensures razor-sharp precision for crisp “Slaps” and “Tacs.” Whether you’re performing live, recording in the studio, or leading a hafla, this darbuka guarantees clarity, projection, and unmatched tone.
The Nefertiti Darbuka shines in a luxurious gold finish, inspired by the regality of ancient Egypt. Each decorative stone is hand-set with care, creating an exquisite, radiant design that captures light beautifully on stage. Every darbuka is individually hand-painted, ensuring no two are exactly alike — a testament to authentic Egyptian craftsmanship.
