    Description

    The dholak is a traditional folk instrument of India. It is made from a single piece of carved rosewood with skin heads on each end, one small (6") and one larger (9"), almost as if a tabla set was joined as one. Truly unique instrument with amazing sound!
    Deluxe two-headed wooden dholak drum with a tenor and bass head. Drum is held horizontally and played on both sides. Heads are held in place and tuned by rope and rings.
    In India, these extremely popular percussion instruments are commonly used in folk music and during marriage ceremonies.
    19" Long.
    Rope and tab tuning
    Carved Rosewood body
    Goat Skin Heads
    Drum heads are made from goatskin. The dholak's higher-pitched tenor head is a simple membrane while the bass head, usually played with the left hand, has a load inside that is a mixture of tar, clay and sand (dholak masala) which lowers the pitch and provides a well-defined tone. Both heads are tucked in a wooden hoop.
