Wow, That's a big old tambourine. How old is it and are those tin jingles.

[Strumelia]

Love the heavy thread spiral stitching around the flesh hoop to keep the skin edge secure and tidy.

[Chris Prieto]

That is indeed a big Tambo haha which reminds me I need new jingles for my bell tambo

[Richard Graham]

Could be Eastern European, but it's a bit large for a buben, But it reminds me greatly of 18th military tambourines, which are quite rare outside of museum examples. It's in rough shape but still quite a find!!
