Every instrument at Lahore Music House begins as seasoned wood and ends as a tuned, tested piece that is ready to play. For over seven decades, our artisans in Darya Ganj, Delhi, have been making handcrafted Indian musical instruments, from harmoniums and tablas to sitars, sarods and folk drums. This page shows you the workshop, the people and the process behind them.
We use sheesham, Burma teak, mango and other tonewoods, aged and seasoned for years in our own wood-seasoning facility. Seasoned wood does not warp, and it gives the tone that musicians look for.
Our artisans carve each body, neck and drum shell by hand at dedicated carving stations. Many of them come from families with decades of woodcraft tradition.
Skins for drums and soundboards are cured in our skin-curing rooms before they are fitted, so they stay stable and respond well.
Reeds, strings, straps, fittings and finishes are added by hand, and each piece is polished.
Experienced ustads tune each reed, string and drum skin by ear, to 440Hz concert pitch or to a custom scale on request.
Every instrument passes a rigorous 3-tier acoustic quality inspection and is then packed for safe delivery.
Tonewood stock aged for over 5 years, so the body of every instrument stays stable.
Dedicated stations where artisans carve and shape bodies, necks and drum shells by hand.
Carefully controlled rooms where skins are cured for drums and soundboards.
Where our ustads tune by ear and every piece goes through 3-tier acoustic inspection.
Our commitment is simple: an instrument should sound as good as it looks. That is why every piece goes through three levels of acoustic inspection before dispatch, and why we keep our wood, skins and fittings under our own control. When you buy a handcrafted instrument from us, you get a piece that has been made, tuned and checked by people who play and understand the music.
Come and see our instruments, meet our team and play before you buy.
