Handmade Madal (मादल) | Authentic Nepali Folk Drum | Made in Nepal
About the Handmade Madal
The Madal (मादल) is Nepal’s national folk musical instrument and the rhythmic backbone of Nepali folk music. It is a double-headed hand drum played by striking both ends with the palms. From village festivals to cultural performances, the Madal sets the beat for folk genres like Lok Dohori, Jhyaure, and Tamang Selo.
This handmade Madal is individually handcrafted in Nepal by highly skilled and experienced drum-smiths. Every drum is shaped, tensioned, and tuned by hand — giving it a warm, resonant tone that no machine-made drum can match.
