Kopal "KARIN" – Natural Skin
The Kopal is a signature percussion instrument of traditional Armenian folk music — played with sticks, driven by rhythm, and built to energize the most festive celebrations. With its deep, powerful voice, it sits at the heart of Armenian musical heritage, carrying the spirit of the Caucasus in every beat.
The Karin model brings it back to the roots. Fitted with natural skin drumheads, it delivers the warm, organic tone that defined the Kopal long before modern materials — raw, earthy, and deeply traditional. Built from solid Polywood, it offers the authentic folk sound that no synthetic head can fully replicate. For intermediate players who want to connect with the true voice of Armenian percussion.
