Well said, Harimau!
Also, who wants an uDumbu Park when we have many uDumbu-s among us with uDumbup piDi-s!
That is to say, why do we need those animals when we have uDumbus who grip to their ideas like those animals which were used in ancient times to scale the walls of an enemy's fortress? You tied a rope to the animal, threw it to the top of the high wall, he would stick to it like concrete, and you scaled up the rope, threw the rope inward and went in sliding down ;)

In this video :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAdfoLp3ZBI

the artist demonstrates something called a REMO kanjira. He says that it is environment friendly and it is also tuneable.

Does it sound like the real thing to you.?

To me, it sounds good... but unlike Pete Locket, I'm no expert. If it's good enough for him, it's more than good enough for me!

Every time I see this guy he amazes me. A true musician and master of the percussion music of the whole world, including Hindustani and Carnatic music.

I'm sure your lizard is right :)

Remo brought out a synthetic-skin kanjira some years back. It looks as if this is a new product, though.
