Retrofit Your Tabla

The patented TransTabla system delivers fine tuning control, or the ability to move full steps in seconds. Reheading is no longer labor intensive, and you will be able to maintain optimal balance for the life of the drumhead without pulling strap by hand. Besides increasing the instruments versatility and ease of maintenance, your Tabla has the opportunity to look as amazing as it sounds. There is no longer a need to hammer the blocks (gatta) constantly to keep the Tabla in tune, causing nicks and gouges in the shell. TransTabla shells may be finished and polished for a lasting beautiful appearance. While we may have complete TransTablas ready to purchase, any Tabla may be retrofitted to become a TransTabla. Custom orders require a two-week minimum lead time to fabricate, assemble, balance and ship. All TransTabla owners are eligible for free upgrades to part improvements for the life of their system and all parts are guaranteed against defects.

Return shipping is included.  Process takes 2-3 weeks. Includes shell conversion, mechanism install, Vectran strap, and a stainless steel ring. All retrofit orders are tensioned and balanced to be ready to play when you receive your drum back.
