Tabla

Tabla is a traditional percussion instrument that is widely used in Indian and Nepali classical music. It is a set of two drums, consisting of a smaller drum called the "dayan" and a larger drum called the "bayan".
The dayan is made of wood, typically from a type of Indian rosewood, and has a goatskin head that is tightened or loosened with a series of tuning ropes. The bayan is made of metal or brass and also has a goatskin head that is tightened or loosened with a series of tuning ropes. The drums are played with the fingers and palms of the hands, and produce a wide range of sounds, tones, and rhythms.

Tabla playing requires a high level of skill and practice, with players often undergoing years of training to master the instrument. It is highly regarded for its versatility, ability to mimic the human voice, and for its ability to create complex rhythms and patterns.

In Indian and Nepali classical music, the tabla is often used to accompany vocalists or other instruments, such as the sarangi (bowed string instrument) and sitar (plucked string instrument). It is also played as a solo instrument, with the player improvising rhythms and melodies.

Overall, the tabla is an integral part of Indian and Nepali culture, and its unique sound has become synonymous with classical music in the region. It is also increasingly being used in fusion music, where it is combined with other genres to create new and innovative sounds.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.
