Today's featured instrument is the tabla. This is a popular Indian percussion instrument used in the classical, popular and religious music of the Indian subcontinent and in Hindustani classical music. The instrument consists of a pair of hand drums of contrasting sizes and timbres. The term tabla is derived from a Sanskrit word which means "drum". Other spelling for the word "tabla" include Thabla or tubblaa.

This is a freestyle video. Traditional tabla videos can also be found. I just like this better.

The above video shows a charango player. According to wikipedia, "The charango is a small South American stringed instrument of the lute family, about 66 cm long, traditionally made with the shell of the back of an armadillo (not to be confused with a Cuban style of music called "charanga"). It typically has 10 strings in five courses of 2 strings each, although other variations exist."

He plays it really well.

Post any pictures of instruments you bump into or have any interests in any specific sounds from that particular instrument. Please provide the name of the instrument and a brief link or history of the same. Thanx.
