There is a small crack in my tabla. Does that matter?

Q: There is a small crack in my tabla. Does that matter?

A: Small hairline cracks are common in tablas. Especially if they are in the foot of the drum, they shouldn't be a cause for concern.. Remember that tablas are carved out only about 2/3 of the way down, so a hairline crack in the feet won't matter. If the crack is in the upper part that is carved out, and it appears to go all the way thru to the soundhole, then you should try to fill it.
