Tabla tuned

Got my tabla tuned today. Looks like it was really messed up. The skin was coming out a bit on the top and I guess that was just because the pudi had lost it's tension. Couldn't tune it that easily though. Guruji asked me to adjust all the pegs so that they stretch two of the gajra strings than just one. That makes it have more tension. It sounds awesome once again now. It had really missed the pitch and was sounding odd when I played with the others. All of a sudden the Naa and the Tin sound like they should sound, and that too with a little less effort. Maybe this will just make me try a little less, but it does sound AWESOME.

Stay tuned for the next lesson.
