Unconfirmed sources claimed the authorities imposed a ban on musical instruments- thus driving this underground devellpment. it is a little hokey. I can scarcely imagine any civilized government banning musical instruments= which after all are used in Church services, patriotic marches, parades, etc- such a ban would be Titanically difficult to enforce, Mahnn!/ Buit so the story goes. they , unlike traditional drums have been tuned by annealing and are used to play melody part, not merely rhythm. a sort of poor-man"s Vibraharp.

Being round creates the sound. When you hit it, the sound bounces off the walls of the drum and goes into the air. If it were square it would sound a bit different.
The shell of the drum, or the place you pound to create noise, is stretched over a circular opening on both ends of the barrel of the drum. The tension is the factor that determines the noise produced.

It will make a noise. The pitch will depend on the type of drum.
How do you change the pitch of the keyboard ( instrument )?
The only correct way to do this is to find a qualified organ technician (avoid electronic organ repair men) and ask him to re-pitch the organ. One would assume however, that any owner of a pipe organ (usually a church) has it serviced regularly so the technician who usually services the instrument should be the person to do it. I must state that radical re-pitching is not always advisable. I service many organs that were built during a time when the standard was A=435. Most are still at that pitch but those that have been raised have suffered for it. Re-pitching such an organ almost always requires many pipes to be trimmed to reach A=440 (or higher) and has a detrimental effect on the organ's overall tone and the tuning stability of the reed stops in particular not to mention being very expensive as at least double the amount of time of a regular tuning is required.
