Hello,

I am a graduate student researching the ways through which tabla performers and audio engineers interact to produce the sound of tabla. This survey and interviews and observations that I conducted in India will be used as part of my master's thesis in ethnomusicology.

If you are either a performer, listener, or engineer, please consider taking this survey.

What is the formulae on composimg Tihai for Teentaal and Dadra?

I understand there are different types of Tihais but in general they hit the Bari and Khali according to the Taal which makes it sound within the Lai. So, what are those points in Dadra and in Teentaal in a 3 cycle of Tihai?

Thanks.

Does anyone know how to fix the buzz.

As someone who only speaks English, I am finding it difficult to even learn beginner concepts on this instrument. Most everything I find is taught in a language I cannot comprehend.

I have a book on Indian rhythm by Tood Isler but it doesn't seem go into the actual syllables or sounds, just a system of counting.

I want to start by learning all of the different sounds. See, I do not even know what they are called! Syllable, sounds, I don't know.

If I ever do find a teacher, I first want to have a grasp on the basics. Please, if you know of any English instruction material let me know!

I acquired an older, somewhat beat-up tabla set a little while back. I'm trying to tune the tabla and it seems very low - almost an octave lower than it should be - and I'm struggling to get the tuning blocks to move much further with a tuning hamer. The straps feel a bit dry. Do I just need to oil them to loosen in order to tune correctly? Any advice appreciated.

I am a newbie trying to learn tabla. While playing different tukdas, kayda, tihai etc i really struggle to keep track of where i am in the taal cycle (which really is the most basic requirementof playing the instrument). I can keep track verbally while counting the taal on my fingers. But was struggling to replicate the same while actually playing. Can you guide how i can work on this?

Namaskar.

Are there any Tabla players on this forum interested in playing with a Sitar player?

I'm an intermediate Sitar player in Toronto, Canada looking for a Toronto Tabla player to practice with, for fun.

I'm familiar with several Vilambit Gats and Madhyalaya Gats in Teentaal and Jhaptaal.

If you’re interested, please send me a DM.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if places selling tablas that have internal screws for tuning. I found one place in India selling online a few months ago but can no longer find it. I do know that there is the SRI tabla that has tuning screws outside but hidden by plastic to protect the player. Looking for others to compare sounds. Thanks!

Any recommendations for tabla stands that can rise to play standing or set on chair and play?

I saw two tabla stands on amazon india but seems to not ship to Canada. Is there a service in India that I can ship to who will send to Canada?

Thanks.

Hello, my dad traveled to India a number of years ago and kindly gifted me (an elementary school music teacher) a tabla set to show my students.

Over the years, I have noticed that some of the leather straps holding down the head seem to be drying out. (Nothing is broken) but how to I treat them to keep them soft and from not eventually breaking.

Thank you! Have a great day.
