I would like to learn tabla in my spare time and I am looking for a good quality tabla that is easily tuned. Are student models more easily tuned than professional models?
Thank you, A. A Student models are simply less expensive and are of lower quality. Tuning is about the same. The consideration is financial – if you wish for the best quality and sound then the student tabla set isn’t for you. May I make a couple of recommendations to make your beginning easier? Videos help you learn tabla more quickly and easily. Books are a little harder to learn from. Please consider purchasing the following: Learning Tabla with David Courtney.
