The dayan bodies are made of neem or babla wood. These woods are heavy enough to ensure a stable standing. At the same time they give a good resonance. The skins are carefully made. Therefore a Narayan Badya Bhandar Standard dayan always gives a clear, carrying sound. Slight vibratory sounds in the shyai can not be ruled out, though. They are not a defect, but an individual touch of the specific instrument. Good straps and tuning wedges round off the attractive general impression of the Narayan Badya Bhandar Standard dayan.
Each instrument is individually hand-crafted and might differ from our description.
NARAYAN BADYA BHANDAR is one of the best tabla makers in Calcutta today. The company in its third-generation is managed by Shyamal Das. He carries out all the finishing work himself with utmost care and love of detail in a tiny workshop, together with his father and a handful of employees who all belong to the family circle. The result is, on the one hand, tablas made with much loving care and irresistible tonal quality, and on the other hand, world famous regular customers like Anindo Chatterjee or Swapan Chaudhuri. Apart from tablas, Narayan Badya Bhandar makes also several other percussion instruments, like pakhawaj, mridangam, khol, dholak, kanjira, etc. India Instruments is the exclusive importer for Narayan Badya Bhandar in Europe.
