Titus Riqs are hand made in Switzerland by Titus Bellwald using the best available materials. One of his specialties are inlaid finishes using real mother of pearl with no filler use to get a seamless shapes but just precisely cut pieces and most carefuly handicraft. The Riqs are equipped with an internal tuning system and completely hand hammered jingles as well. A variety of synthetic and natural heads are available.
