The Pakhawaj is a popular instrument played in the Northern half of India and is used as an accompaniment for various forms of Hindustani Classical & Devotional music and Dance performances. It is the standard percussion instrument used in the Dhrupad style of music and and was the dominant rhythmic accompaniment for Hindustani music & dance till the 18^th century.

The Pakhawaj is a barrel-shaped, two-headed drum, a variant and descendant of the older Mridang. It has a low, mellow tone, very rich in harmonics.

The Pakhawaj is tuned by adjusting the screws on the chrome fittings.
