RAV Labs Vast E Low Pygmy

Let's start with delivery.
I think Thomann makes delivery flawless. I got my Rav 4 days after my order. It was nicely wrapped in everything you can imagine so there's no chase of a damaged product.

The instrument itself is amazing. There is no video currently on the internet which gives the same feeling and sound so I highly recommend trying the instrument before you buy. If you can't then you should listen to as much video as you can from the scale you're going to buy.

I think quality is amassing!
Well crafted and durable.
My only issue is oxidation.
The outer copper ring and the blue body itself will slowly change colors.
The copper will become less shiny and more brownish.
The blue part will become a bit darker. (Maybe because of the palm oil I used to keep the drum threated against rust.)

My only problem is that the volume of the stroke easily overpowering the sound of the instrument itself. And the sound of the instrument is the most pleasurable for the person whos playing it because the tongues are facing the player and the only way the sound can come off the Rav is its top part.

Overall. I think It can be improved.
Besides these negatives, the whole instrument resonates with me. I never enjoyed anything this much in my life. If you loved the sound of it in videos you will be blown away mow much better it is in real life.
