Obrom

 

Obrom

An obrom is a type of musical instrument in the percussion family, originating in Nigeria. Formed from one large piece of wood, usually a log, the obrom has two recesses connected to each other by a small channel. The obrom, when struck with mallets near the recesses, plays two tones; these are generally alternated in a repetitive beat, or played in an ostinato.
