Installation
This instrument arrives ready for use. To achieve the desired pitch, use the 5mm non-stretch rope system to tighten the goat skin head. Ensure the rope is tensioned evenly around the shell to prevent uneven stress on the skin. Periodic checks of the rope tension are recommended, especially after changes in humidity or temperature, to maintain optimal tuning.
