HOUSTON, TEXAS, February 7, 2002: Dr. David Courtney, prominent musicologist and author has released his masterful technical and practical treatise, “Manufacture And Repair Of Tabla.” It is his third book in the series “The Complete Reference For Tabla” following the success of “Fundamentals Of Tabla” and “Advanced Theory Of Tabla.” The latest covers a wide range of information — materials, manufacture, repair, physics and the tuning of the tabla. It also deals with the craftsmen and health issues involved in the craft. Arguably the only book of it’s kind ever written detailing a specific perspective of the instrument, Courtney has also included illustrations and photographs to guide the reader to better understanding.
