  • Tabla drum head tensioning system and method
    Patent number: 9024162
    Abstract: A system and method for quickly and efficiently installing a drum head on a tabla and controlling the tension of individual segments simultaneously. A mechanical interface controls a tension on each of a set of connective elements of a connective assembly that joins the drum head to the mechanical interface. Operation of the mechanical interface adjusts the tension of all elements of the connective assembly, and thus adjusts a playing tension of the drum head, at the same time.
