The MuratCoskun Bariton Framedrum!
The BARITON version comes with a larger diameter (45cm), deeper frame (15cm) and a much more massive tuning rim.
Thus, as the name suggests, the MCBFD has its particular strength in the middle to lower register. It has a warm, earthy timbre and a very present, round sound. The bass is solid, pervious, the mids are lively, and the highs are clear, bright and defined.
The sound-producing tuning frame is made of figured ash. The outer frame is made of local oak with fine grained spruce as the middle layer. Walnut inlays complete the noble overall appearance.
Of course, the MCBFD also comes with the revolutionary tool-free HiLo tuning system, which allows retuning even while playing.
A universal frame drum with a wide range of applications, designed primarily for lapstyle. Due to the light frame construction it is suitable for other playing techniques.
The MCBFD
After the MCTFD (Murat CoskunTENOR Frame Drum) the MCBFD is the second signature frame drum model from HEDWITSCHAK DRUMS, which was developed with and for Murat Coskun.

This is what Murat Coskun, exceptional percussionist, lecturer, composer and festival director has to say about the MCTFD:
I have to say I’m fascinated by the Bariton frame drum! In my music, it’s very important to me that frame drums are clearly tuned, so the integrated tuning system really comes in handy. As with the Tenor-Signature, you don't need any additional tools like a bike pump or an Allen key for the Bariton. That way, I can retune the drum easily, quickly, quietly, and, above all, very precisely during a gig – those are four things that have to be crucial for me as a concert musician! And what's more, the Bariton just sounds wonderful, it’s easy to hold and play, the wide frame provides comfortable support for the arm, and the fingers glide joyfully and loosely over the skin when playing. Thank you, Christian!
