Custom Built Taiko
Typical materials are Ash, Hard Maple, White Oak and Red Oak (the Oak is a bit heavier)
if you like, I can also use wine or bourbon barrels as available so the sizes and costs can vary from what is shown below
I reinforce the rims of all my Taiko to avoid the splintering, chipping, cratering and cracking found with most other taikos on the market.
The bodies of any Taiko I make are guranteed for life. (Some restrictions do apply... misue, dropping from a speeding car, being hit by a train, falling from a third story window are examples of some exclusions that would apply. :-))
Here are some estimated costs for refrence. Actual ciost may vary depending on materials nad requirements.
