Balaram Mrdanga mod
Submitted by sitapati on Mon, 2010-03-15 23:10 
Here is an interesting mod that Bali Fergusson (Balaram Das) from Hawaii has done to his Balarama mrdanga. There are two holes drilled in the body inline with the strap rings, towards the center of the drum.
Apparently this increases the volume and resonance of the drum. I'm interested to try it out...

An idea like this had occurred to me, but I didn't want to risk hurting my drum trying it. Another benefit would be in preventing pressure damage such as could happen when leaving the drum in a hot or cold car.
Re Modified Balarama Mridanga
Hi Sita-pati das,
I'm curious to hear any comment on how the modified mridanga sounded!
Hare Krishna,
