Absolutely fantastic experience purchasing from Hari Trivedi in March 2021, about 8 months ago. I purchased a daya, a daya head, and other tabla accessories and were shipped in excellent packaging to Texas, USA. The overall buying process was made easy with great communication from Trivedi with an array of selections, along with helpful discussions on specifics on tabla. It's been 8 months and the daya continues playing wonderfully. The daya head I purchased was installed on a new tabla and has been playing with great quality for months now. I highly recommend.

I reached out to Hari for a new set of tabla and was extremely pleased with the quality of service and responsiveness. Living in NJ USA, i expected a 4-5 day turn around time for delivery, however i received the tabla the very next day. The drums were well packaged and nothing was out of place. The whole process was seamless and would recommend to anyone looking for any type of services (purchase, repair, etc)

I gave my tabla to Hari when they were absolutely demolished, without wooden pegs and no sound coming from either the bass or tabla. He was very professional and did an amazing job in fixing them, by recommending skins particular to my style and also balanced out the shell (which I didn't know needed to be done). He added new straps for better quality and pulled the skin so it plays at the scale I need it to. Hari went above and beyond in fixing my set and his manner in doing so was very understanding, polite and professional. I would definitely take my other sets to him in the foreseeable future. You could tell he has a passion for music and loves repairing and creating new tabla. His skills speak for itself. Absolutely thrilled with his work and very grateful for him being able to repair them.

Brilliant repairs to my ageing Tablas. My tablas now sound better than when they were new. As I use them they get better and better. Haribhai not only understands the instrument and it’s manufacturing he is an excellent player. Cannot praise him highly enough for the professional manner in which my Tablas have been repaired and the excellent communication throughout. Also, love the use of unique straps.

In 1972 I bought my first Dayan tabla in East London. I fell in love with it from the first note. It was crystal clear, just like a bell. It gave me many years of pleasurable playing but sadly, over the years it became neglected and lost it’ s magic. There were many times I considered having it repaired but it would cost too much of my limited income. Then I discovered Hari’s website. got in touch and had the tabla repaired at a great price. The service was really amazing and I am now the proud owner of a 50 year old tabla that sounds exactly as it did in 1972. Thank you Hari.

I have used Saaz Tabla Repair for advice on maintaining our small set of Tabla drums at school. As he is a specialist in this field of instruments, I appreciate his expertise in this. Because of this, our set of Tabla drums have remained in good condition and should I need them repairing I will taking them specifically to this local business. Thank you Hari.

I sent 3 tablas for repairing to MR Hari Trivedi of Saaz Tabla School. He took good care of them as they were his own. All 3 skins were in urgent need of replacement and so were the baddi/leather straps on two of them. He did an excellent job, replacing them with high quality skins and tuned them in 3 different pitches. Very professional guy and a good tabla player+teacher himself. I would highly recommend Saaz Music School for repairing, maintenance of tablas and if anybody is looking for a teacher to learn tabla.

I've known Hari for a long time and have worked with him on many projects from musical Shakespeare productions to jazz, soul and reggae. He has also worked on two recordings for our albums. Always totally professional and an incredible tabla player.

I needed my tabla repaired and was unsure of what company to use as I have heard of so many bad experiences, saw Hari ad and took a chance and I'm so glad I did, from the first initial contact I knew that I had made the right decision. He did a great job replacing skin's on both my tabla and any questions I had were answered promptly. Service and knowledge was so good that I bought a tabla from him and I am so pleased with it, I would recommend Hari without reservation, brilliant service, excellent quality and excellent communication with his customers, a friendly, helpful guy, I would consider Hari more of a friend than a service provider, I will certainly use again well done and good luck in the future.

Extremely happy with the level of service and the quality of tabla is out of this world. I bought a new set of professional tabla from him and also had a tabla repair done and I’m really happy with his work. I would definitely recommend his services. If you even have any questions about tabla etc he will help. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Thank you Saaz for making my sons tabla set look and sound like new. You have him very happy. I wish we had met you earlier after being ripped off by so many other shops. Take care

One of the best tabla that I've played on for many years! I have been playing Tabla for the last 15 years and this has been by far the best service and tabla that I have laid my hands on. You've done a splendid job with my old dayan. I'm really glad I found you after being ripped off by many stores in the UK. Thanks from Scotland!

Wow, if you want to play tabla then this is your guy. If you want to see what he is capable of then go to the website for Visit Leicester and seek out the video for Diwali Leicester. Hari's tabla playing is extraordinary. There's plenty of tabla players they could have chosen for this festival celebration but you can see why they chose him.

Hari is a fantastic tabla teacher and tabla repair person. He's been playing and repairing tabla for his whole life! I learnt from him for 5 years plus and the great thing about it is that he is also learning on a higher level, constantly, in order to provide even more teaching material, so the knowledge its never ending! I've had a few tablas made by him and they have been spot on!

Excellent craftsmanship, skillfully re-skinned my both Bayan and Dayan Tablas. Tablas tuned to correct pitch and sounds amazing. Worth the cost. I would highly recommend this company.

Worked with Hari for many years and he has helped many students and the music community in general in the Midlands and beyond. He is very hard working and always has an attitude to help others elevate in their own music practice. Thank you Hari

Had two dayans reskinned for a reasonable price. Both now sound brilliant so it was well worth the money. Just be aware that the skin takes time and some playing to settle in so may not sound the best initially.

Thanks for fixing my tabla for my friend who sends her regards to you as she isn’t on FB. She’s so happy with the tabla that you’ve repaired for her son and he is now inspired to carry on his lessons and practice.

5/5 provided an excellent and fast service across Instagram. He posted my skin promptly and even gave me advice for its reskinning, I can't wait to try the skin out
