De Kulture Kanjira Hand Percussion Musical Instrument For Religious Ceremonies Bhajans Yoga & Meditation, 6.5X2.5 (DH) Inches

It's a good instrument. The sound is loud and with water you have a variety of pitches. It came in an unfinished state though, the wood needed a coat of something. I used briwax. There was also still measurement markings on the shell I had to sand off. Also the jingles had sharp edges which was abit naughty. Easy enough to file though.

Kanjira players often have several drums on hand in various states of humidity - and now I know why. When dry the drum is quite high pitched, but wipe a little bit of water onto the skin and the pitch drops very nicely. Then it goes back up again. To be expected from a natural product. When its just right, the sound is good - nice deep bass, very easy to modulate, good slap sound

The kanjira that was received the main art was not even firm and definitely not as per expectation. The skin is very loose and the sound is definitely not the right one when played.

El producto, No esta acabado por parte del fabricante;La madera No esta, ni lijada, ni barnizada, da un resultado, Nada agradable al tacto.La piel, aunque esta bien colocada en el cuerpo de la Kanjira, para que quede bien tensa por todo el contorno, hay que calentar demasiado la piel, con lo que perdemos los bajos del instrumento.Queda una arruga en parte de la circunferencia del instrumento y en el resto, no.Creo que forma parte de la mala eleccion de esa piel en concreto.Lo mejor y suenan muy bien, son las Sonajas,Una muy buena eleccion que, desgraciadamente, no concuerda con la fabricacion del resto del instrumento.En conclusion, No recomiendo este instrumento.Falta refinarlo, por parte del fabricante,Terminarlo de acabar, para que el instrumentista se sienta comodo al tocarlo.

I had received it and the Moment I Held the Instrument, I knew it was of very poor Quality. The Frame was not placed properly, the Tension of the drum Skin was not stuck well. it was not at all how it was described. :(
