Hello!
Last year I bought a good tabla set and now I have to replace the puddi, because it is damaged and I would like to know if it is normal to replace the head so early. I know that it depends on humidity and other reasons but I would like to know if with a year of use (daily) this time is normal.
Thank you.
Well, it's hard to say. If the head was on the tabla for a very long time before
you got it it could have just been near the end of its time. Or maybe it was too
tight or loose, this sometimes leads to damage. Sometimes some heads just
don't last long.
If you need heads, straps, or reheading service, check out:
