Handmade Indian Tabla Drum (Dayan) – Metal Shell

Handmade Indian Tabla Drum (Dayan) – Metal Shell Percussion Instrument

Authentic handmade Indian tabla drum featuring a traditional natural skin head, metal shell construction, and hand-laced rawhide tensioning. This is a single Dayan (treble tabla drum) crafted in India and sourced from a traditional tabla maker and repair shop in Jaipur, Rajasthan.

The drum produces the bright, articulate tones associated with North Indian classical music and is suitable for players, collectors, world percussion enthusiasts, recording studios, or decorative display.

This example shows normal wear from age and use, including scratches, oxidation, and cosmetic imperfections to the metal shell. The head, lacing, and overall structure remain intact.
