Frame drums are used extensively in Siberia and North America, where they are often a culture’s only musical instrument. Were these independently developed? They deserve discussion here. 72.253.225.171 (talk) 11:38, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed the link to [Kaval](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaval) because it links to an article on flutes (not frame drums). But I did a bit more reading, and it appears that there is a frame drum that is typically spelled Ghaval or Qaval and mentioned in [this article on Azeri instruments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_musical_instruments), so perhaps it should be re-included under a different spelling sans link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4and3and2and1 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
