Good to hear from you Ken, you've been very quiet.
Perhaps I should have clarified traditional. The shallow tabor is
traditional in that it was the type of tabor still in use by

certainly carried on later - through the C18th.
Since the revival the range of tabors is even bigger. The Basque
tabor certainly predominates in the UK at present.
