Your goal is to get kaali taali as possible, little bit of chitti(only on the outside) is absolutely fine(won't affect the sound at all if all kaali taali on the inside and both sides)
if you want your dhol to sound louder as fuck with deeper bass, here's the dimensions...
Sorry for the off topic:
where do I get 1/4" - 26 thread per inch(British Standard Fine)? mines look like quarter inch screw about an inch and length and the threading is not metric and not in inches either, best guess is a fine quarter inch threading, and by the way: I'm in India
Either...
Oh by the way, you can also get Bhangra Dhol from Ustad Lal Singh Bhatti Ji, I'm not sure if he has a shop located in California or not, it's worth a try :S
To be honest, I have never been to Jalandhar in my life so I don't know about it, but at least there's Calcutta Music House, I prefer buying taali(sheesham) from any ustad, otherwise search around for music stores in Jalandhar
I hope this website helps you...
I still have amb dhol, it's absolutely fine, just slight problem because of remo clear ambassador that makes nuts and bolts pulling up (tightening alot is required), and I'm also getting ripe sheesham(kaali taali or kachi pakki talli) someday soon at Ludhiana, I hope
Any of NRI family of yours...
Welcome to Bhangra Teams' Forum justanotherpunjabi :)
In BTF website, search 'Dhol etc'.
If I were you, I wouldn't order it online, ordering it online will rip you off easily, so you have to be extra careful when buying the dhol, I would buy it in person if I were you by sound checking...
Dark taali(golden to dark brown) comes from heartwood(which is inner wood) & Light taali(white to pale brownish white) comes from sapwood(which is outer wood)
