RE: OT: miniTablas

["Lanpheer, James A" <Lanpheer.James.A@broadband.att.com>]

MiniTablas had nothing to do with MIDI.  What was unique about them as i
understand it was:
1) ease of mounting them into a traditional percussion stand of some type.
2) ease of tuning very precisely and having them stay in tune.

Apparently, there was nothing wrong with the technology, but the price to
produce it, and the therefore the cost to purchase it, put it somewhat out
of reach and made the market so small as to not be a profitable thing.
sound familiar?

The 'tabla market' is already a small market, the market for the miniTabla,
much smaller than that.

The road to tabla mastery is a loooong and steeeep one.....
