As a matter of principle, all
instruments coming from our workshop are made of solid wood unlike the
majority of drums which are available on the market and which are made
by means of veneer coiling and gluing, which method results in producing
a multi-layer plywood.
Thanks
to perfect working of glued areas, the amount of the adhesive between
individual blocks is absolutely negligible (may be measured in grams for
the whole instrument). Only in this way the real “musical
properties” of material can excel. By the block gluing a rough corpus
is created which is “round” worked after the adhesive completely
dries up The next step is the creation of
bearing edges and snare beds. Following perfect manual grinding, the
instrument is impregnated with a special oil and stained in order to
achieve an appropriate shade. |

On the external side of
the instrument, the schelack is applied by means of a traditional,
manually very exacting method - French polishing. During this process,
the instrument is many times polished using a special polishing oil and
pumice. By means of this technology, several hundreds of very thin layers of resin are applied on the surface of such instrument. The perfect schelack polish outside and inside the instrument gives the instrument a unique look and sound. 
Today we use solely wooden hoops for our instruments. In order to achieve a high level of resistance such wooden hoops are glued from 30 layers under a high pressure.
