Collector's notes

The exact origins of the tabla remain debated. One theory dates its invention to around 1738 by the drummer Amir Khusru, while another legend tells of the two-headed pakhawaj being split in half after a courtly dispute in Mughal India.

The tabla rose to prominence alongside the emergence of khayal music in 18th-century North India, becoming its defining percussion instrument. It is now one of the most widely played and influential instruments across the Indian subcontinent, celebrated for its extraordinary rhythmic complexity and expressive range.
