Well, after too much pursuit of ritual instrunents finally i met a friend andvajra brother who can make drums and crafts like that.
He already made a dakini drum, or at least is the drum we have here in the sangha.
Now to the point: whe can i find directions on all the machig damaru details? We want to make some because here we are at least 5 practitioners studying and training in chod.
Anyway, this is non commercial, so i u derstand if directions are sent through pm.
Damaru. Can i make one?

true dharma is inexpressible.
The bodhisattva nourishes from bodhicitta, through whatever method the Buddha has given him. Oh joy.

Re: Damaru. Can i make one?
Really I have no idea. I just know if you use the wrong materials with a traditional one it has the opposite effective. Reverse blessings not only for you...but your whole country! So probably something you don't want to mess around with.

Re: Damaru. Can i make one?
Reversed effect for oneself and one's country ? I don't buy that.
In India it is said also : if you don't prononciate exactly your prayers, you will have bad luck and adverse effects. Then, we (the priests) are the only one who can pray for you.
I find that terribly wrong, and by the way, not supported by my experience and the experience also of many people. It's bullshit used to take the power from you.
