The Tabla is the most important Indian percussion - it consists of a high pitched treble drum (made of rare resonant tun wood) and a lower pitched drum, the bass dugga, the best quality being made of brass. Ours is chrome-plated brass for zero maintenance! Each of our sets takes 2 professional craftsmen 4 days to complete!. The tabla is usually tuned to the tonic of the raga by tightening the goatskin leather straps. The heads of tablas made of treated goatskin, also called the puddi, are the most critical part of the tablas. These heads are more complex than any other drum head. The actual playing area of the puddi consists of three separate pieces. These different parts contribute to the tabla's very distinct sounds. Our pro-grade instrument is provided with special quality double gajra leather head this enhances beauty and enriches the sound and the treble resonance that characterizes a fab tabla sound. You will ONLY get this quality in an authentic Bombay tabla set - many other tablas coming out of India for the European and US markets especially from the North of the country are nothing but touristy souveneirs patently lacking the acoustic excellence that goes into a Bombay tabla. This factory sale of a professional concert-grade beaten brass dugga and wood treble drum (2 drums) that constitute the tabla set. The tabla is accompanied by a superb specially selected introductory CD from Grammy-nominated Ustad Zakir Hussein. Also included are all the accessories required for maintenance and tuning the tabla and also an instruction book for beginners. The combined value of these accompanying accessories alone is over $55.
