[@srinivasanchary1]

the accompanying instrument is 'morsing'. is a wind percussion instrument, mainly used in Rajasthan, in the Carnatic music of South India and in Sindh (Pakistan). It can be categorized under lamellophones, which is in the category of plucked idiophones.

[@RatherPratty]

[@rahulm145]

[@j.masonbrown6216]

I've never seen a 5 string acoustic violin/viola before, that's awesome! Is it a combo between a violin and viola? Like a violin with an added low C string on it?

[@RavichandranJv]

It is not the traditional way of playing Carnatic compositions and that is why he called it fusion, right at the beginning. The style is very much unique to Dr.L S and his son is simply following the same style. The traditional way of Carnatic music does not allow for so much experimentation (It rarely forays into the range of the Viola, as you identify it); in fact, experimentation used to be frowned upon until Dr. L. S changed the way Carnatic music was played on the Violin, which in Carnatic music, is simply used as an accompanying instrument (like the Morching (I think it should be spelt as morsing!)) that accompanies the lead in this video. So much importance is not or never has been given to a Morching player in a concert before!).

[@ovp258]

wut was d name of other instrument den violin btw ambi played superb

[@PassionateBiker]

It's morsing just google it u will know

[@StephanieL180]

What is the name of the accompaniment instrument?

[@aishwaryaaishu6775]

Its call morsing or the jaw harp

[@StephanieL180]

@@aishwaryaaishu6775 Thank you!

[@ebdorai]

sounds more like charukeshi not vakulabharanam

[@andreamorales5590]

Ok but where's the sheet music for this at! 👌🏽

[@Kris-dr8ef]

Isa Morales Carnatic and Hindustani music don't have sheet music like Western Classical music. The method of learning is the Gurukul system which is the guru or teacher teaching the student by example

[@shrutijeyaram8027]

And a lot of this comes from spur of the moment imagination. Thefts no sheet music. You're expected to remember everything in your head.

[@rhar75]

Its all improv.

Must say the father plays it better...
