The drum measures about 15" diameter x 13" tall, wood sides, leather top and bottom, with rope and leather to bind the pieces together. The case is 28" x 28" x 74" tall, made of wood and glass. The custom case was made possible by a generous donation from Ester Maiwald in July 2006, and it was designed and constructed by James Borden.
