The tabla[nb 1] is a South Asian membranophone percussion instrument (similar to bongos), consisting
of a pair of drums, used in traditional, classical, popular and folk music.[1] It has been a particularly
important instrument in Hindustani classical music since the 18th century, and remains in use
in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.[2] The name tabla likely comes
from tabl, the Persian and Arabic word for drum.[3] However, the ultimate origin of the musical
instrument is contested by scholars, some tracing it to West Asia, others tracing it to the evolution of
indigenous musical instruments of the Indian subcontinent.[4]
The tabla consists of two single headed, barrel shaped small drums of slightly different size and
shapes: daya also called dahinameaning right, and baya also called bahina meaning
left.[2][5] The daya tabla is played by the musician's right hand (dominant hand), and is about 15
centimetres (~6 in) in diameter and 25 centimetres (~10 in) high. The baya tabla is a bit bigger and
deep kettledrum shaped, about 20 centimetres (~8 in) in diameter and 25 centimetres (~10 in) in
height. Each is made of hollowed out wood or clay or brass, the daya drum laced with hoops, thongs
and wooden dowels on its sides. The dowels and hoops are used to tighten the tension of the
membrane. The daya is tuned to the ground note of the raga called Sa (tonic in Western
music).[2][6] The baya construction and tuning is about a fifth to an octave below that of
the daya drum. The musician uses his hand's heel pressure to change the pitch and tone colour of
each drum during a performance.[2][6]

Bansuri
Musical instrument
A bansuri is a side blown flute found in many parts of India and Nepal, and a musical instrument that is
common in the North Indian or Hindustani classical music
The gopichand like the ektara, is a one-string instrument used in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. In
origin the gopichand and ektara is a regular string instrument of wandering bards and minstrels from India
and is plucked with one finger. The gopichand usually has a stretched single string, an animal skin over a
head (made of dried pumpkin/gourd, wood or coconut) and pole neck or split bamboo cane neck.

Pressing the two halves of the neck together pushes the peghead away from the body, thereby tightening
the string and raising its pitch. The modulation of the tone with each slight flexing of the neck gives the
gopichand its distinctive sound. There are no markings or measurements to indicate what pressure will
produce what note, so the pressure is adjusted by ear.

The sarangi is a bowed, short-necked string instrument from India as well

as Nepal and Pakistan which is used in Hindustani classical music. It is the most popular musical
instrument in the Western part of Nepal, and is said to most resemble the sound of the human voice
able to imitate vocal ornaments such as gamaks (shakes) and meends (sliding movements).

Ghatam
Musical instrument
The Ghatam is a percussion instrument used in the Carnatic music of South India. A variant played in
Punjab and known as gharha as is a part of Punjabi folk traditions. Its analogue in Rajasthan is known as
the madga and pani mataqa
