All the videos i can find of the garamut drums being used in indigenous ritual dance contexts involve the larger variety. I still suspect these smaller ones arfe made for tourists. Watch the other videos stacked along the right as well.

Hello David,

I've sent you a pm, a clearly old garamut of small size which is for sale. Here in this link: https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/pa...rum_03C460082D you can see another sold one.
Attached is an old picture.
