If you've been curious about South Asian hand drums, this is a wonderful place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dholak features a hand-carved wooden shell crafted in the traditional barrel shape common to North Indian and Pakistani percussion making. The body displays rich natural wood grain with decorative carved detailing, and the rope tension lacing runs in a classic diamond pattern across the shell, anchored by metal D-rings. Natural skin heads cover both ends, with the larger bass head traditionally loaded with dholak masala — a mixture of tar, clay, and sand — to produce a deep, rounded tone. Shell dimensions are approximately 19 inches in length, with a large head of approximately 9 inches and a small head of approximately 6.5 inches. Handles and surface carvings vary between individual instruments, as each drum is handmade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound \u0026amp; Playability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dholak produces a wide tonal range across its two heads. The larger bass head delivers a full, resonant thud with natural sustain, while the smaller tenor head answers with a sharper, more defined slap. Rope tension tuning allows players to adjust pitch by tightening or loosening the lacing — a method used by traditional players for generations. The drum is held horizontally across the lap or under one arm and played with both hands, making it approachable for beginners while still rewarding experienced players with expressive dynamic range. It suits folk music, devotional settings, dance accompaniment, and world percussion ensembles alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout This Instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dholak is one of the most widely played drums across South Asia, central to folk music traditions in India, Pakistan, and Nepal. Known by regional variations including dholaki, dhol, and dhool (in Suriname and Holland), it appears at weddings, harvest festivals, devotional ceremonies, and street performances. This model comes from Pakistan's established drum-making tradition and reflects the instrument's enduring design — a double-headed barrel drum tuned by rope, played by hand, and built to carry the rhythm of celebrations and community gatherings. Lark in the Morning has carried instruments like this since 1974, sourced for authentic craft and genuine musical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural skin drum heads respond to changes in humidity and temperature. Store the dholak away from direct heat sources, air conditioning vents, and prolonged moisture exposure. If the heads become slack in humid conditions, allow the drum to rest in a drier environment before adjusting the rope tension. Tighten the rope lacing evenly around the shell to maintain consistent tuning across both heads. Wipe the wood shell with a dry or lightly dampened cloth. Avoid soaking the heads or submerging the drum in water. Periodic light conditioning of the wood shell with a natural oil can help preserve the carved surface over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark in the Morning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52877668051,"sku":"dru002","price":249.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1814\/0429\/files\/IMG_3343.jpg?v=1781895256"},{"product_id":"limberjack","title":"Limberjack","description":"\u003cp\u003eRhythm instrument made of wood, sit on a chair and place the board under one leg and bounce the board while holding the wooden figure above the board and them dance, these are dressed up with a leather hat and are about a foot long.  Hat color may vary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Percussion Artisanale Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52877706835,"sku":"lim003","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1814\/0429\/products\/percussions-others-limberjack-2044078948393.jpg?v=1775679053"},{"product_id":"musicmaker","title":"Musicmaker","description":"\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted of fine hardwoods, this extremely enjoyable and easy to play psaltery is the perfect introduction to the world of strings!

The keys are mounted on a sturdy dark frame, and beneath each key sits a natural gourd resonator that amplifies and projects the sound. The frame measures approximately 16.75 inches in overall length and stands approximately 4.5 inches in height.

Traditionally played by Griot musicians, it remains a central voice in ceremonies, celebrations, and storytelling. This metal interpretation preserves the gourd resonator design that defines the instrument's acoustic character while giving it a distinctive tonal brightness and visual presence. It is sourced from Mali, connecting players directly to the living tradition behind the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the metal keys down after playing to prevent moisture buildup and preserve their finish. Store the instrument in a dry environment away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the natural gourd resonators over time. The included rubber-tipped mallets are well suited for everyday playing and help protect the surface of the keys. Avoid striking the instrument with hard objects or excessive force, as the gourd resonators can be fragile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark in the Morning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43715438805166,"sku":"MAR495","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1814\/0429\/files\/IMG_3225.jpg?v=1781123938"}],"url":"https:\/\/jp.larkinthemorning.com\/en\/collections\/just-arrived\/india.oembed","provider":"Lark in the Morning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
