Dear friend,
You can buy your tablas from Praful Athale who himself is a nice tabla player and a student of Ustad Allarakha and Ustad Zakir Hussain.I had attended his 2 concerts during my Bombay visit.He is a very kind man as well.I had bought 1 tabla pair from him which is excellent in sounds and having long resonance.He gets made from the best tabla maker in Bombay.I am sure,you can get your tablas at your house in Canada as he also sends by courier.You can contact him if you want.His email is tablaplayer@hotmail.com and his site is http://listen.to/prafulla
If you contact him,please convey my regards to him.Good bye.
Georgie.
