FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Instrument Quality & Preparation
Is the mridanga tuned before dispatch?
Yes. Your mridanga is prepared and tuned before dispatch. We check the instrument, tune it appropriately, and share photos and a sound demonstration with you for your confirmation before it is safely packed and dispatched.
Can I choose the sound?
Because each instrument is unique, we provide a sound demonstration of the actual instrument being prepared for your order so you can hear its characteristics before it is dispatched.
What is the difference between a traditional clay mridanga and a fiber mridanga?
A traditional clay mridanga provides an authentic, deep acoustic tone but requires more careful handling. A fiber mridanga is highly durable and excellent for travel, beginners, or street Sankirtan, while still offering a very good traditional sound.
Which mridanga is suitable for beginners?
Our Fiber Mridangas and Balaram Mridangas are very popular for beginners because of their durability and ease of maintenance.
