Composition in Raag Bhoopali.

Tar Shehnai / Esraj (Dilruba) - Raag Kalyan



Maiya Singh, My teacher, playing a Bandish in Raag Yaman/Kaliyaan.

Recording was made mainly for practice purposes.

Not bad for someone who just plays this on the spot without any recent practice eh?

The instrument is a Tar Shehnai, which is an Esraj + a horn that produces the sweet, high pitched sound.

An Esraj (similar to Dilruba) is a hybrid Sarangi + Sitar.


If you noticed: I fumbled the taal at one point because I started concentrating on what my teacher was playing, but he adjusted what he was playing to fit my mistake in.

Advanced listeners will notice instantly :P

Maiya Singh - TarShehnai - Bandish



Maiya Singh
Testing out a friend's new Tar-Shehnai
Playing a Bandish in Raag Yaman/Kaliyaan/Kalyaan
The Bandish is called: Pal Pal Mori


What's a Bandish? It's a composition / musical piece / tune . Basically the chorus and the verses are somewhat set, and the musician can improvise in between them.
