NARAYAN BADYA BANDHAR STANDARD SET
NARAYAN BADYA BANDHAR STANDARD- Bayan and Dayan
Dayan
The dayan bodies are made of neem or babla wood. These woods are heavy enough to ensure a stable standing. At the same time they
give a good resonance. The skins are carefully made. Therefore a Narayan Badya Bhandar Standard dayan always gives a clear, carrying
sound. Slight vibratory sounds in the shyai can not be ruled out, though. They are not a defect, but an individual touch of the
specific instrument. Good straps and tuning wedges round off the attractive general impression of the Narayan Badya Bhandar Standard
dayan.
Bayan
The Narayan Badya Bhandar Standard Baya wird is made of chromium plated copper and has a weight of 2,5 – 3 kg. Its carefully made
skin gives it a dynamic and well balanced sound. The standard diameter is 9 inch.

Our Narayan Badya Bhandar Standard dayans have an average diameter of 5 ½ inch. This diameter allows a maximum pitch of approx.
c – c sharp.Of course the dayans can be played at lower pitches as well. Please let us know if you are looking for a dayan with

NARAYAN BADYA BANDHAR is one of the best tabla makers in Calcutta today. The company in its third-generation is managed by
Shyamal
Das. He carries out all the work himself with utmost care and love of detail in a tiny workshop, together with his father and a
handful of employees who all belong to the family circle. The result is, on the one hand, tablas made with much loving care and
irresistible tone quality, and on the other hand, world famous regular customers like Anindo Chatterjee or Swapan Chaudhuri. Apart
from tablas, Narayan Badya Bandhar makes also several other percussion instruments, like pakhawaj, mridangam, khol, dholak,
kanjira, etc. India Instruments is the exclusive importer for Narayan Badya Bandhar in Europe.
