Tamboo bamboo is a Trinidadian percussion instrument (idiophone) created in Trinidad BWI , and is a notable precursor to the creation of steelpan.
[1] Its name derives from the French word for drum (tambour) and the material from which the instrument is predominantly made from.
[2] It is still played by carnival-goers in Trinidad today, although it was the dominant instrument at carnival at the turn of the twentieth century.
