Mumbai based Haridas Vhatkar is recognized as one of the leading contemporary tabla makers. His tablas have been the choice of such tabla maestros as Zakirji, Anindoji and many others. This is his #2 set, but these are superior drums in many ways.
The tabla is made of heavy seasoned wood with a nice thick Mumbai style head (pudi) made with characteristic Vhatkar craftsmanship. This set includes a 2 kilo Bombay brass baya (Not a Haridas Vhatkar), as well as a padded bag, rings, covers and hammer.
This price includes a $10 packing fee.

They tuned, balanced and packed this tabla set in front of me. I was surprised at the professionalism they had. The set was packed brilliantly and arrived at my house in Texas safely. I will order again from them.
