Ultimate Guru Concert Grade Pakhawaj

Ultimate Guru Concert Grade Pakhawaj



Used all over northern India and a popular double-handed drum used in Dhrupad, Kathak dance, Bollywood rhythms and fusion recordings, the Pakhawaj is regarded as the oldest and most majestic Indian percussion instrument. The drum features powerful bass sounds that are deeper and lower than the Mridangam, and is full of rich and high tones, harmonics and overtones on the treble drum.

About This Product

  • Highlights:

    • Excellent wood

In addition to concert grade sound, this Pakhawaj includes master craftsmanship that includes lowered gajra ( drum border) to maximize playing comfort.

The bass skin which is larger is placed on the left side. And the smaller treble skin is typically placed on the right.

To bring out the deep bass sound, wheat dough (atta) needs to be applied to the center of the bass drum skin.
