Dhul, Dhol , Dhole

February 11, 2011

The construction and the type of skin are similar to the Dholak but it is a powerfull double-headed barrel drum. It is also tuned like the Dholak by moving the metal rings along the strings and thus increasing or reducing the toutness of the skins. Compared to the Bhangra Dhol the Kachhi Dhol is smaller and more reasonable in price. Due to the special internal coating of the bass skin it produces an powerful bass tone. The Kachhi Dhol is played with sticks and hung around the neck. In India traditionally it is played for fesitvities, rituals and dances. Meassurements: 48 cm Length, Diameter 31 cm
