The riq instrument is a type of tambourine used as a traditional instrument in Arabic music. The Riq instrument is an important instrument throughout the Arab speaking world as well as countries such as Greece. The riq instrument is used in folk music in the Middle-Eastern countries, Turkey and Greece. It commonly accompanies the popular middle eastern hand drum the Darbukah.

By the way, it can also be spelled as "riq, riqq, rik, daf, tef or reqq". The playing techniques of the riq are similar to tambourine. It has 5 double jingle pairs in the frame and is usually somewhere around 9″ in diameter. It is used to accompany classical Turkish and Arabic music, but also common in folk music from these areas. In North-Afrika there is different version of the riq, smaller in diameter and played with a different technique.

The riq instrument in ancient times was made out of wooden frame, jingles and a thin, translucent head made of fish or goat skin but in the modern times people have been using more modern materials such as aluminium, it can also be decorated with beautiful mosaics or mother of pearl. It is between 20 and 25 cm in diameter. It has ten pairs of small cymbals (about 4-6 cm in diameter), mounted in five pairs of slits. The skin of a fish or young goat is glued on and tightened over the frame, which is about 6 cm deep. The animal skinned riq instrument models have a natural and warm sound. But the skin head is sensitive to humidity and needs to be protected carefully. In Egypt the riq is usually 20 cm wide; in Iraq it is slightly larger. In Turkey the frame can be between 20 to 25 cm wide.
