Why it’s great for the classroom

This junior dholak is a fantastic way to introduce traditional Indian percussion in a primary or secondary music setting. With its bright colours and clear, resonant tone, it’s ideal for rhythm work, group performance, and cultural studies. The rope-tension system allows you to fine-tune the pitch with a simple adjustment, making it flexible for different teaching scenarios or performance needs.

Handcrafted from mango wood and fitted with traditional drum skins, this instrument provides a satisfying level of volume and projection for group music-making. It’s also compact enough for smaller hands and lighter to carry, which makes it especially good for younger learners.

You’ll also find this instrument in the Percussion Workshop Indian Percussion Pack, where it forms part of a vibrant set perfect for exploring the sounds of Bhangra and traditional Indian music.
