The Hand chizeled drums (Inside the shell ) are always better than the machine ones

Maharashtra and Hyderabad knots below are different the lacing goe in opposite direction there have a ring of oron wrapped in raw hide just to make it more stable below . The Knot is down clockwise if you see it from below , unlike the kolkatta , banaras , delhi ones , except Qasim khan niyazi as he is the student of Akbarmiya's son, Mohd.Yousuf
