THE ULTIMATIVE PROFESSIONAL FIVE STAR TABLA QUALITY

This unique quality you will hardly find anywhere else! Repeatedly people have attested our five star tablas a level of quality that you cannot expect from any other importer anywhere in Euroope. This is entirely thanks to the efforts of our Tabla Maestro Sajal Karmakar and his long lasting (over 3 decades) close contact to the manufacturer in Calcutta (Sargam) and also to the respect that Sargam have for Sajal Karmakar as a tabla maestro. He makes sure that the manufacturing of the tablas is according to his own professional standard. As the demand for Tablas has increased steadily all over the world during the last years, all of the good Tabla manufacturers have plenty of orders. They even have to refuse orders as they do not have enough capacity. The result is, unfortunately, that everything is exported to foreign clients in the western world, no matter what quality. Tablas are a handmade product and a good result depends on enough time, attention and skill, which are brought into the making of the instruments.

If you are already a tabla player you will appreciate this quality most. But even if you are a beginner you will be inspired, from the beginning, by the sound production of this instrument because even a beginner enjoys practicing more, when his instrument is of a good quality and when a good and clear sound is easily achieved. This is our only realyl professional, heavy quality of Tabla which we offer and which is demanded also by the tabla maestros in India for their performance on stage. Our Five Star Tabla is the result of the great efforts of Tabla Maestro Sajal Karmakar. He himself organizes the best quality of wood (see more information within the yellow link below). He chooses the best parts for the production of the Tabla and he chooses and communicates with the best labour within the company Sargam to make sure that best quality comes out. After that, all the finished tablas will be delivered to his home for testing. If Sajal Karmakar finds that some of the instruments are still not according to his expectations, he returns them and they have to be made again. He only accepts an instrument if it has the quality which he himself would accept for his personal performance on stage. Several times the owner of SARGAM was wondering about all his efforts and asked him why he introduces such a high standard to the western world. In business this high standard is not possible to hold. But Sajal Karmakar has this idealistic approach to send only this professional quality. This is the reason why you cannot expect this quality of Five Star Tabla set from any other importer who is supplied by Indian manufacturers and who has no choice but to take the quality they offer him.

Obviously this quality has its price. If you feel it is too high for your requirements just look at the other qualities we offer. The premium and the standard quality are also good tablas which will give you a lot of joy in your practice.
