Tabla: "Tiano"

This little tabla has been wounded,
with a tiny pin prick in the center.
I have since filled it in with glue,
however I think the original damage
has changed its sound.

This tabla is not listed for sale,

4-minute Audio-Video:

This tabla drum has a slightly wider wooden base.
Tiano is an older drum most likely from Calcutta India, from around 1995.

Wood: a heavy mahogany wood.

A little bouncier in random twang sounds than some of the others.
The drum has a drop stain on the top goat hide, which could deter it from decorative use.

-----------------

"Tabla drums, are known as the instrument of Shiva."

From The Tabla Family:

Tiano is pictured on the bottom row,
second on the left, in its "family photo".

Recording Info

This recording is from my usb video, so, it may not have the true depth of the sound.

Drum Database Info

If the tabla is listed for sale and or sold, this page will stay as a sound file resource, and be part of a tabla sound database, as there aren't that many tablas, constructed that gain blog page and video notoriety.
