Recommended for students. Delivery was little delayed. Review: 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. ## Features - Includes Fiber Trolley, Mizrabs, Extra Set of Strings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0078KSCJG | | Assembly Required | No | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Body material | Sheesham Wood | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (127) | | Date First Available | 13 April 2013 | | Finish type | Raw | | Included components | Case | | Item model number | IB | | Item weight | 2 kg | | Manufacturer | Maharaja Musicals | | Material Type(s) | Steel, Sheesham | | Product Dimensions | 31.75 x 31.75 x 57.15 cm; 2 kg | | Set Name | Basic | | UPC | 741360282148 751354886788 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Maharaja Musicals - **Colour:** Silver - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 31.8 x 31.8 x 57.2 centimeters - **Material:** Steel, Sheesham - **Model name:** IB ## Images ![Basic Tabla Set for Students and Beginners - Steel Bayan, Dayan, Hammer, Cushions & Cover - Indian Hand Drums on Budget (PDI-IB) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tEeiszcvL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the Manufacturer warranty ? and how long ?** A: There is no warranty for handmade products. We offer 30 days returns and technical support. **Q: What is the difference between Student Tabla set (PDI-IB) and regular table drum set (PDI-EA)? Are there differences in dimensions or quality as well?** A: I bought the student drum set and I think the difference is that with the student drum set you can't tune the bigger drum but can still tune the smaller one. There could be more differences, but I never used the regular one. If you are an ameture tabla player planning to learn playing, I suggest you go with the student one. At the biggner level I do not think it makes a difference. **Q: whats the weight and size of the package?** A: 22.5 x 12.5 x 12.5 inches and shipping weight is 23.2 pounds **Q: can I buy for my 12 year old?** A: If your child is as interested drums this will be great. Ours is very well made. Each drum has it's own Rich tones. My son, who was in high school when he first got it, enjoyed learning the different techniques to properly play it. You tube has several great videos for this. My son has enjoyed collecting and playing drums from all over the world. This has been a great addition. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 24 January 2022* Awesome table set ! Recommended for students.
