I got a used Hand hammered Cast Copper, Tama. Bout 5 yrs old.
When I tested it (Open venue), ayus naman.
Kaya lang nung nasa room ko na, matindi pala overtones.
Using an Evans Power Center Reverse Dot and Hazy 300 (then changed to Philharmonic Genera) bottom. Super ang overtones.
Initially Top is in super tight tuning ,bottom is tight also relative to the skin. Ok ang overtones, pero parang wala ng sustain. I loosened, bumalik ung overtones.
Changed the top to Remo Weather King Emperor (may dot din) and Philharmonic Genera, medyo nabawasan. Tight Top, Medium bottom. Sustain is now better, but overtones are still there, though not as much with Evans.
Should I use a moon gel or a external muffler (attachement) or O-rings?
Any advice?
Salamat
