AkbarMiyaTablas™ is the modern identity of the historic workshop known as Akbar Miya & Brothers, carrying forward a heritage of handcrafted tabla making that began in Hyderabad, India, in 1910.
For over a century, our family has dedicated itself to the art of crafting tablas renowned for their tonal purity, balance, and reliability. Every instrument is handcrafted using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, from wood selection and shell shaping to pudi preparation, traditional syahi application, and final tuning.
Today, AkbarMiyaTablas™ serves students, teachers, performing artists, and music institutions across India and around the world. While embracing the needs of modern musicians, we remain committed to preserving the craftsmanship, authenticity, and attention to detail that have defined our work for generations.
Behind every instrument stands the legacy of Akbar Miya & Brothers—the historic workshop that continues to inspire the present and future of AkbarMiyaTablas™.
