Tabli Info
Dear friends, please hereby find some info about different styles of tabli. Clicking on the pictures will show up a drawing presenting the thickness (in mm) on different locations of the tabli and a zoom showing details of the surface finishing on the backside. Notice the increased thickness at the jawaris section to prevent indent on the surface.
1. Kartar Chand RS style 1980 Tun wood
2. Naskar RS style Teak wood
3. Hari Chand RS style 2005 Tun wood
4. Rikhi Ram VK style 1970 Tun wood
I note that the RR has a hole beneath the bridge. Not large enough to be a sound hole but it would definitely affect the air pressure inside. It might also be related to concerns about humidity.
Very interesting article. Very generous of you to share the info, many thanks!
