Kanjira Cracking
Is there any reason why my Kanjira is cracking on the sides?It is slowly cracking up to the skin area and now cannot be played.

Re: Kanjira Cracking
How old is it? If it is not very old, I suppose there is a chance that the wood might not have been seasoned properly which would make it more prone to crack/warp.
I once had a kanjira that cracked. I forced glue into the crack and compressed it in a large vice. I had access to some good tools at that time! It did fix it.

Might it be because of the water you put on it to get the bass sound seeping into the wood?Nick H wrote: ↑06 Feb 2021, 14:32 How old is it? If it is not very old, I suppose there is a chance that the wood might not have been seasoned properly which would make it more prone to crack/warp.

No. I never had a kanjira that needed more than wiping the skin with wet fingers.

Re: Kanjira Cracking
haha. Thanks! Maybe it was not made properly then. I do remember that some water got on the wood part so I was wondering.
