The Queen Brass Professional Dayan Tabla is a beautifully handcrafted treble drum made from seasoned Black Sheesham wood, known for its strength, tonal richness, and classic appearance. This instrument is crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced players. Measuring approximately 5.5 inches in drumhead diameter (+/- 0.25"), with a height of 10 to 11 inches and a weight of 3 to 4 kilograms, this tabla offers a stable base and balanced sound. The puddi (drumhead) is fully handmade, offering superior sound compared to commonly used machine-made versions. The skin is tightly fitted to deliver sharp, clear tones — perfect for classical performances, practice sessions, and studio recordings. Each tabla includes a durable cushion and protective cover to keep the instrument safe and in tune. Minor cosmetic imperfections like small scratches or marks may be present due to its handmade nature — these do not affect sound quality and are a part of its traditional charm. This tabla is designed for musicians who value authentic tone, solid build quality, and traditional craftsmanship. It makes a thoughtful gift for students of Indian classical music or anyone looking to explore South Asian rhythm instruments. Care Instructions: After delivery, it is recommended to unpack and air the instrument to help maintain tuning. Store in a dry, cool place, away from extreme temperatures or humidity to ensure long-term use and sound quality.
