Tone

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The pakhavaj has a low, mellow tone. The sound of the Pakhavaj is very rich in harmonics. In traditional pakhavaj-styles a student would learn a number of different strokes which produce a specific sound. These are remembered and practiced with corresponding syllables.

The very basic capacity is to play a theka in a particular tala or rhythmic cycle, as for instance chautala in 12 beats:

| dha dha | dhin ta || kite dha | dhin ta || tite kata | gadi gene |

Set horizontally on a cushion in front of a crossed-leg pakhavaji the larger bass-skin is played with the left hand, the treble skin by the right hand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.164.9.203 (talk) 09:24, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
