I tried looking for one but it seems there is none. Maybe some online lessons with someone abroad will do for now. Any suggestions?
The Skyndeep still hasn't arrived so I have to wait a bit more. I will play around with the tuning in the meantime. Anyway, congratulations on the horse skin. Please, do let us know about the results

He lives in Stod. He is an amazing multi-instrumentalist, playing congas and batá as well as piano and saxophone. Years ago, in 2009 he and his fellow drummer Michal Caba drove all the way to Hamburg to take some batá lessons with me for one weekend, which alone is an incredible action. Since then, they have taken classes with Piri López, started a fantastic band project with Marta Galarraga, and have collaborated with Kevin Moore of timba.com.

Johnny Conga (also forum member here I believe), Edgardo Cambon and Johnny "Dandy" Rodríguez (yes, "THE" Dandy) in the USA.
I happen to know of Michal Caba so I may ping him and ask about Vasik and lessons.
