This is a really lovely instrument
Acoustically, it is fairly quiet, but I haven't had a chance to mic it up yet or try it in the studio. It lends itself to softer dynamics, which make it a joy to play for hours, without fear of hurting your fingers.
It has 2 mic ports, about 8 or 9mm in diameter, filled with soft brown clay to keep sealed.
It came with a woven wicker hoop that the base can sit in.
Despite being ceramic this feels robust and sturdy and reasonably light.
