Held horizontally, both heads are played. Nuts can be tuned with a standard wrench, included. In India, these extremely popular percussion instruments are commonly used in folk music and during marriage ceremonies. Made in New Delhi by skilled craftsmen. Please Note: These drums are handmade and each one is unique so the drums and drum heads will vary in size. Item Specifications: Item Dimensions: 21" L x 9" H x 9" W Playing Surface: Tenor: 5.75" and Bass: 8" Body: Stained wooden shell with linear etching. Includes a metal handle. Heads: Bass: This bass consists of a goatskin head with a braid around the edge. It usually has an internal load that adds depth to the sound. When it is applied in India, this load is a dark green-black gob. The head you receive may have this gob in place. However, for longevity, ease of installation and head sound, we recommend replacing the original gob with a layer of silicone caulk. Tenor: The tenor has a goatskin head with a metal ring stitched around the edge and a black gob, or syahi (pronounced cee-hi) on the outer playing surface. This syahi is a unique combination of organics and iron. Tuning: 8 nuts and bolts Accessories: Tuning wrench
