(I am writing a History section for the article Tabor (Instrument) which I am planning to place after the lead opening section that is present and before the section labeled "See also." I am also including additional sources to the one already used in the article)
History[edit]
The tabor is classified as a membraophone and dates back to the Medieval period in Europe.[1] Hand-written documents and engravings are some of the earliest recordings of this instrument.[1][2] The size of these early tabor's ranged approximately 11.2 inches in diameter and 4.7 inches in width.[1] These 13th century tabors were thus larger across their diameter, but the tabor continued to evolve with time and eventually some were almost even in diameter and width.[2] The 16th century brought the tabor full circle in design as it reached the opposite proportions of the earlier models with the width being greater.[2]
Tabors were constructed of wood for the body of the drum with the stretched membrane made out of some type of skin.[1] It was primarily utilized for the outdoors.[1] The tabor is a precursor to the side drum.[3]
The common way of playing the tabor together with the pipe produced the effect of a single person band.[4][5] It was often played for dancing, and could be played along side bagpipes.[1][3] Regular rhythmic beats were common for this instrument as this style accompanied dancing well.[2] The tabor was used to accompany Morris style folk dancing.[2]
Initial forms demonstrate a type of horn was played with the tabor, which then later lead into the pipe and tabor duo.[5] This combination flourished in musical performances between the 13th-16th century and was connected with nobility.[5] The tabor together with the pipe had the ability to make complicated musical timing meters.[2] The tabor was also played solo.[5] By the 15th century there were bigger models made and players used two sticks instead of the original single stick to hit on the membrane.[1] This was predominantly used in military-life.[1][5] Tabor use decreased by the mid-17th century,[1] however it did continue to evolve throughout the 19th and into the 20th century.[2] The tabor style is still used as the tambourin de Provence.[4][2]
