[@gaura]

Water is good

I use a dishwashing scrubber to remove dust

Very inventive, dry or wet (damp)?

@@tosslevyindianmusicalinstr5507 dry scrubber , but the tabla and bayaan skin to be dry too , one shouldn't do immediately after playing. for the siyahi it is also possible to clean and make it as new , using a beeswax , atiny drop on the cloth ,makes it remove dust and dry sweat on the siyahi .

Dear Gaura, 2 good reasons not to use water. Any water on the shyahi will seriously damage it. And secondly, water on the skin will temporarily make playing impossible. So why use water at all? In my expierence, dry scraping is harmless and no risk to the skin and shyahi. Unless of course your scraper is too sharp and you damage the skin or take too much of the shyahi off. As I warn about in the video.
