Simple two tone Thadobati, it looks spun thought hammermarks in the sidewall tell a different story. This does not look like an antique, it might only be 10 years old. I picked it up for its exquisite soundscape – and paid an antique price for it despite my age misgivings. Incredibly resonant and balanced, the clear tones play flawlessly together, even more remarkable because of its complexity. Excellent sustain with the premium harmony. Spectacular rim play, pure bass slides off the rim. The overtones are incredible they too fly off the rim solid and clear with leather. High overtones sing out with resonance with the ebony wand. Exceptional all around sound. With overtones at C#5, D6, , .
