Description

In Jewish folklore, the golem is a powerful creature created by magic from inanimate materials, often of clay, to do dirty work. This name is very suitable for the considered model of the doromba: a very large, massive body of a thick steel rod with a rough surface of a dirty dark color and a long, thick reed support compliance not only with the appearance and meekness of performing commands, but also with the sound itself. It is powerful, low-frequency and rich in overtones. At the same time, the instrument is perfectly controlled and supports a large number of methods of sound extraction, has great dynamics and is simply pleasant in handling.
