    Mridangam Repair and Other Mridangam Aspects

    Topic started by Rohan Krishnamurthy (@ pm533-26.dialip.mich.net) on Mon Jul 16 15:47:14 .


    As many of you may know, I am a 14 year old mridangist who is a student of Sri. Guruvayur Dorai. I have played extensively throughout the USA and India, for leading artists like N. Ravikiran, "Flute" Ramani, R. Vedavalli, and many more.

    Though this is not the first topic of its kind created, I noticed nothing on mridangam has been discussed lately.

    Kumar,

    I will let you know in detail about it. As far as I know, U K S used copper wires instead of kutchi. It produced stunning nadam because it metalized the sound and the copper pieces were more rigid. But U K S did not use this technique in his mridangam, that is in his concerts because he cosidered it artificial. It ws just his innovation. This is what I heard from him in his interview on TV. I will get you more details - maybe something like what type copper was used and how it was performed. My friend knows a lot about such things. He is not here at the moment. So, WILL LET YOU KNOW SHORTLY.

    BTW, how do the Desadi and Desiaksi thalams go ? How many aksharakalam?

    Bye.

    I have to disagree. I mean the guy who sang for my arangetram, Sangeetha Vidwan Kutralam Shri. Nagarajan(Who sings at 3/4 for dance), my guru, Nathamani Shri. Muthu Sivarajah, and many other i know. All say that B is 3/4. (Because it is lower than C-1).
