Etymology
The term 'tabor' originates from the late Middle Ages, deriving from the Old French word 'tabour,' which itself came from the Latin 'tabula,' meaning 'drum.' Historically, the tabor was used in Europe as a military drum and was associated with the accompaniment of other instruments such as the pipe. It became particularly popular in the 16th century, especially in England and France, where it was frequently used in festive occasions and performances. The tabor has evolved over time, and today it remains a cherished instrument in various musical traditions, continuing to capture the essence of its rich historical past.
