Closing up shop
After two decades of selling nylon tabla strap, I am now moving on to other interests. Thanks to everyone who has bought strap from me over the years. The strap you have should last a lifetime. Enjoy, and keep playing!

 Tabla with Nylon Strap (click on the picture for a full-zize version) This special item is
an alternative to the Features of Nylon Strap: - stronger and easier to work with than traditional rawhide strap - lasts much longer and can be used for multiple reheadings without developing weaknesses - less stretching over time - costs less than the traditional strap available in the USA - 3/8 inch width fits all tabla heads - 37 1/2 foot (11.5 meter) length fits all standard drums with extra left over (custom lengths available for particularly large or double-headed drums) - new natural look excellently matches the color of the traditional rawhide strap |
"Gabe Halberg's innovative use
of nylon strap on tabla reheading is a major advance in the centuries-old
problem of head stability and tabla strap breakage. Gabe reheaded
one of my university's worst tabla with the nylon strap and it
is now one of our best drums. There has been little slippage
over 4 months and the tone is excellent. I highly recommend his
repair service." |
