I bought this tabla before 2 months. They are working really well. If anyone is interested in buying tabla, I highly recommend you to buy this.

I initially had an issue with one of the drums, but the seller replaced it. Customer service is excellent recommended seller.

The tablas are good quality but there are some notes that are hard to play like "na". I'm sure they'd sound way better on a better instrument. Disappointing.

I am not a tabla player or an expert by any means. My 6 year old son wanted to learn the tabla and started taking a class locally. He needed the instrument so we can also practice at home. This works well for his needs. I am sure he will need a more professional grade set as he goes along into the next few years.Locally the music school was asking for $300 for a set, so this price was much more reasonable.The packing was great. The tablas were protected and nothing was missing. I recommend it to these who are new to the instrument but want to learn on a genuine grade product.

One of the negative reviewers complained about receiving a bayan with hair and a strong dead-animal odor. It's possible I received the same one, repackaged. The skins of many of these bayans must be produced in a cheap rush, and so certain strips used for the rim weren't properly tanned. BUT the smell can be extracted in a variety of ways, and scented talcum/baby powder (for playing), among other things, should eventually impart new smells to the instrument. All of this I learned from a little bit of web browsing. Easiest technique for extracting the "dead animal smell" is probably what I did: chop up a bag of apples (or even just cores and skins, if you're using the fruit for something else), place the bits in a trash bag and tie it shut with the bayan on top of the apples (with a grate or plate to keep juices separate from skin). Let the drum sit in the bag for a day or so (room temp, as always) and wipe it off, repeating with fresh bag & new apples a second time, if needed. The fruit absorbs the smell.Even with all of that, I'll say this is a great value because the tabla is perfect, and everything in the photo arrives as seen (covers and bases vary). My background being that of a bass player, I'm used to re-tuning so only time will tell whether that is a serious flaw. (plenty of med-high quality stringed instruments go out of tune routinely). But, as a starter kit, it seems equivalent to a Fender Squier or any cheap rock drumset.

For the price, the tabla set is good. I do feel that the Steel Bayan is not well tuned or something as it does not produce deep sound. The packaging is well done for long distance shipment but the box seems fragile and low quality.

Placed an order on friday, Got it the next thursday. I had it shipped to the east coast, US.To begin with, the shipping was perfect because the product came on time. The packing was absolutely perfect and secure, these guys are absolutely serious about their business. Comes with a sturdy case spacious enough to hold the tablas and the rings. The case was well padded on the inside and bubble wrapped on the outside.Comes with:1) The left Dhagga and the right Tabla.2) Base rings for support.3) Hammer for tuning.4) Tabla top covers5) Book on various bols and taals to be played on the tabla.The tabla was a little out of tune, which is expected because It is brand new and it'll take some time for the tabla surface to mature, sound wise. They deliver exactly what they advertise and Im very very happy with the product.I played the tabla for 10 years following a 10 year gap. Just started playing this today and it feels absolutely amazing. Im not sure what the other tablas out there advertise themselves as "Professional Tabla"'s for, this one is perfect for beginners and advanced players alike.Id give my whole experience of placing the order, the shipping, the packaging and the product itself 10 stars out of 5!!!! Great Seller.

I was very impressed by the quality service we received by the vendor (buy Ragini of India). We got the merchandise in just 8 days from order to deliver; and the shipment was packed with care and professionalism. It was neatly packaged and all care was taken that it reaches the destination of almost 10,000 miles away (Delhi to Austin, TX)with absolutely no scratch or damage. We were very impressed by the expedient service and professionalism of the vendor. That is truly remarkable. I have just one suggestion to make and it is not a criticism. The inside packing was done using hard white packing material in bits and pieces which resulted in both parts of the Tabla being fully covered with small plastic pieces which were difficult to remove. Apparently the person who packed it did not have good training. Unpacking the set from inside the box was a chore and made the room dirty. In future it may be advisable to use clear plastic bags to wrap the set and then use foam to secure them in place. These foam pieces can be easily remover without making anything dirty. That is the only lapse we found.The set is beautifully made. It has superb resonant sound and is a joy to play. It looks like it came fully tuned so that I don't have to do the elaborate tuning. Its looks are also very pleasant. It came with its own box (cardboard container in the shape of a box with locks and keys and even a handle to carry around). This box can be reused and is handy to have around. The shipment also contained a beautiful "hammer" for tuning as well as a very useful book with useful information about Tabla as well a set of cushion for the two pieces of the set.I highly recommend the set as well as the vendor. Buy Ragini is a class merchant who can render fast and efficient service.
