Riq is a type of tambourine used as a traditional musical instrument in Arab music.[2][3] It is an important musical instrument in popular and classical music throughout the Arab world. It traditionally contains a wooden frame (although in modern times it may be made of metal). A jingle and a thin transparent head made of goatskin or fish (or, more recently, synthetic materials). The diameter of its circle is between 20 and 25 cm. Slavery has acquired its name since the nineteenth century. From the tambourine as a tar, the parchment has acquired its name since the nineteenth century to differentiate between them. It is called parch, and it is round in shape, its wooden frame contains ten pairs of small moving metal gongs, and each pair of them is located inside a rectangular hole located in the frame. Covers one side of the machine as well as the jingle. When clicking on the center of the tambourine, a complete click produces a sound called (blood or tam), while the light sound results from clicking on the end of the tambourine, and this sound is called (tack).
