Hello. Thanks very much for your great vid. I even appreciate a lot as I'm waiting my tabla set just shipped today. So I will use the indications you provided in order to get in tune both drums. Thanks again for this.

I've watched a lot of videos on tabla buying and tuning. By far this is the best as I not understand that tablas are tuned to their own level. Thanks

That's a useful guide to tuning in particular. I have just bought my son some tabla. They were bought on the recommendation of his tabla teacher and they sound much better than the ones we'd borrowed but we'll obviously have to keep them in tune, particularly the dayan. My son has perfect pitch and a very good ear but I suspect using the hammer properly is not as easy as it looks.

I tune to a sine wave, much easier to get super precise tuning, because you can hear the actual beating of the note against the reference, which is not very easy with a tanpura or even piano note or whatever.

how do you know what pitch to tune a particulary drum too , ie the difference between a c sharp one and not?

@34672rr 9 жыл бұрын

depends on the size, usually 5.5 inches diameter drum means from b to c#, maybe d at the highest, but c-c# is the best range for that size. That is the smaller drum, called specifically "tabla" . The baya is easier to tune, but a little more complicated as far as pitch. it doesn't necessarily have to be at the right pitch open, but with your palm you control the pitch. So it is good to have a good interval, but whatever sounds good is fine. Zakir Hussain, though, has such an accurate pitch on the baya, that singers can sing with him accompanying without a drone. That takes a lifetime of practice, and there are some masters who can't do what he does. I have heard him play actual basslines, like a walking upright bass line on the baya.

Agreed 5.5 inches is best for C#. I got a 6 inch dayan C# made by somnath kakade

Does it matter what material the bayan is made of? wood, copper, steel?

@tunetasticbeats3090 6 жыл бұрын

Nyall Jodhan i am a tabla student... It is better that the bayan should be in copper metal base....Steel and iron is also ok ...dayan should be in shesham wood
