The ultimate merging of a Tabla hammer with an ergonomic strap pulling hook. Tablatool is made from solid bronze, and includes a carrying case to avoid damage to your equipment. It's designed to be held like a tabla hammer towards the top as pictured. Features a wide blunt side for tuning the drum up, and a narrow side to allow easy striking between the straps when tuning the drum down. Tablatool features securing thumb grooves when used as hammer, and comfortable gripping surfaces for the fingers when used as a strap puller. The wide pulling surface holds the strap securely in place and distributes stress over a large area to prevent strap damage while pulling. Hand crafted in the USA and given a beautiful patina finish by foundry artisans, no two hammers will be artistically identical. Used and cared for properly, this tool will last for generations.
