[@zabyjakzabyjak1085]

Thank you brother. love from Afghans.

[@PatChunnilall-lv8sx]

So well explained. Interesting looking forward.

[@marffvmarffv5438]

Dear sir. I really thank you for your crystal clear lesson. I appreciate the details you provide, best I could see on KZbin so far. Permanent attention regarding relax position and posture to avoid pain and then to produce the good sound is well explain. I'm trying to learn tabla but at age of 51 I think it will be harder ... The seating position is just so painful to me I cannot keep seated for 10 minutes then need to rest. Too bad I will see in some months if this gets better. Thank you again, merci beaucoup and greetings from France.

[@TablaWorks]

Merci pour vos commentaires positifs sur la Tabla. I appreciate it. You can always try kneeling to see if that is better or of course practising for 5 or 10 minutes at a time. Many students over the years have not been able to sit at all at the beginning but have managed to get to 30 min after 6 months of trying. Some also use a hard Yoga block. Bon chance and thanks again.

Nice to e-meet you. I am Japanese. 👘🌸🗻🍵 I was fascinated by the sound of the tabla about 10 years ago, but gave it up because it takes a long time to learn, but I really wanted to try playing it, so I started attending lessons yesterday. Yesterday I played the tabla for the first time and had a great time. I would like to buy a tabla to practice at home, but I can't tell a good tabla from a bad one. I want to get a good sounding tabla, even if it is a little expensive. How can I get a good sounding tabla that suits me? I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you in advance. I will continue to be indebted to your videos. Thank you very much.😊

[@TablaWorks]

Hi Our company provide excellent tabla sets that we can ship anywhere in the world. Please get in touch via email [e-mail] and we will organise a professional pair for you with videos of the set before it is shipped. Kind Regards

[@sigmaidcurve8411]

@ Thank you for your kind reply. I have seen them on the Japanese mail order market, but I wonder about the quality. I am a woman and have small hands, so I would like to have the right size tabla, but it may be hard to tell without seeing the item with my own eyes. Sorry for saying so many things. Thank you very much.

[@TablaWorks]

lol-- I realized at 22:27. The Shyahi is the Urdu word Syahi for the English word INK, which makes total sense for the part which has been darkened literally with an ink (by a maschine or manually). a BOL = a Note @Sulekh you taught us in a reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cool way.. really knowledgeable and friendly..

Wow super sir

[@marciamarcia7510]

Great stuff. Loved it. One problem with tabla bols is that same bol is used for different sounds. Example. Ta bol can be hit on the kinar, up or below. It can be hit on the siyhai, on the lou, and even on your bald patch. The tin sound on the lou and the siyhai in place of tuu. Confusing. Should be different bols to identify separate sounds. The system needs updating. Your lesson is the best on this site. Clearly delivered and nicely paced.
