How different from Western music! I liked the YouTube clip, by the way.
These instruments are works of art themselves. That they also make beautiful music is amazing.

Fascinating post! I'm glad you said how they are played. Some of them, like the Thali are surprising how they work.
Wonderful musical instruments - I have never seen anything like that.
You've given us a concert in words, in pictures, in sound. Thank you.

Because of you and your blog, when our public radio station had a special program featuring Indian music, I made it a point to tune in. Your stories and pictures helped in my understanding and appreciation. Really.
Very beautifully presented. I was not aware of all the instruments and came to know through your lovely post. Your each and every post is marvellous and informative.
you are presenting here an amazing culture!
Thanks for the visit, beautiful work.

Those are beautiful instruments, and the sound is divine. Thank you.
Not only interesting instuments but very interesting that they are used for specific occasions
I didn't realise there were so many Rajasthani instruments. Fascinating! Thank you for education.
Your collection of musical instruments is really nice for me to be able to see. I had no idea there are so many different ones. I like the look of the flute. The American Indians played flutes and made beautiful music too.
Thanks for helping me to make history.

It is surprising how closely related some of them are to early mediaeval European instruments. Some of them even sound similar.

Des instruments de musique inconnus pour moi ... merci de me faire partager. Bonne soirée ..

Nice serie of musical instruments.
I love Indian music.
I love the folk music and the rythem of Rajesthan, the string instruments played by them are lovely, esp the sarangi.
The first one looks like the weirdest instrument. I wonder what it sounds like.
Hi, Bathar!
I was sick, so I could not visiting you as I wish. The MUSIC OF RAJASTHAN is very beautiful. Loved the instruments: thorns, sarangi, tabla, thali, everything! Gorgeous works of art!
Have a nice day, my friend!

These are neat instruments..and the post informative. You said female..was wondering about the thorn? Anyway, hope you have a great weekend-
Highly unusual to me, but that just make it a lot more fun.
This is so interesting! Could you suggest any folk music singers for us to find on the web and have an idea of good indian music?
What interesting looking instruments. I bet the sounds are wonderful.
Instruments interesting!
They are beautiful and interesting. I love music and percussion. Nice post! Thank you, friend.
These instruments are both fascinating and beautiful. I sure would love to hear how each of them sound.
I always learn some interesting facts and information when I visit you,keep up the great work and may you have a blessed day....Barb

Blogtrotter is waiting for you at Old Town Antalya in Turkey. Enjoy and have a glorious weekend!

Music.a The beautiful songs, and all this wonder of sounds, including guitar and drums, to the traditional music .
Kiss
Very interesting photos and information!
Fascinating tour of these beautiful instruments. I only knew of the sitar and the tabla before.
I can't really say I can identifie each one of these instruments and must also say that my knowledge of Indian music is very limited (I have some records from RAVI SHANKAR
, but I muts say this was an interesting trip to music.
Beautiful instruments, and the music they make is extraordinary.
You have a great blog here. Good luck with your journey!
Comprehensive post, I didn't know there were so many musical instruments in Rajasthan.
What a gift to find on a Sunday morning... thank you for leaving words that led me to your world... filled with enchanting music and instruments ... an education and delight! I look forward to traveling through your pages for now ... I am excited to share your gifts with musician friends who play the Sitar.
excellent post. so interesting and informational. well done and I enjoy the music to listen to while viewing your photos.
Very interesting to see all of these unusual instruments.
The Tanpura caught my eye...
never seen anything like it before.
Very intertaining history of musical instruments.
We do treasure our history.
Please accept your award from my blog - http://khanamasala.blogspot.com
Wonderful set of soothing Indian musical instruments!

I expected to find the Ravanta too here ... but did not. It would be a big help if you can mention just how far are the places from main cities like Jodhpur or Jaipur or Udaipur ... it may help when making travel plans. Like your blog. :-)
wow!!! so interesting--love to hear about what kinds of occasions each instrument is played for
. fantastics artfacts .
. history instruments forever and ever .
. congratulations .
. best regards, dear friend .
Fantásticos esses artefatos, cada dia você nos surpreende com esses posts maravilhosos.
Beijos e uma ótima semana para você.
Beautiful instruments with very unique details! Have a wonderful week :)
Interesting and informative! Lovely post!
Thanks a lot for visiting me!
Dear Bharat,
I see that you have been bagging quite a lot of praises for posting interesting details about Rajasthan, about which not many know. You deserve them.
However what touched me the most about your blog is that you have gone beyond the stereotypes. Travel is not all about visiting the grandeurs of a place. It is also about what constitutes the lives of the people, the community and their present. Travel ceases to interest me if it is only about hopping from one monument or temple to another.Our lives are so thoroughly incomplete without human connections and I am glad you too feel the same way.
Happy to visit.
Pallavi.
I have been able to fix up the problem in my blog and will be happy tp have you drop in.
Cya!
Are you safe from the floods?
Quite cool to see all these instruments from your country. There is a shop in Reykjavik that is selling some of them.. DO you believe that?
I've particularly been fascinated about Tanpura and Bansuri. Thank you for posting these photographs of different musical instruments in this informative post.
Oh this is a fabulous series!
I love all the musical instruments and the Indian music and your photos fill me with joy!
Thanks!
:-)
Wonderful collection!
QUE INSTRUMENTOS TAN EXÓTICOS, LA VERADA NO LOS CONOCIA.
BUE REPORTAJE!!!
UN BESO DESDE ARGENTINA
Caro amigo, belas fotografias de belos instrumentos musicais...Espectacular....
Um abraço
Some of these are very similar to instruments in the west, but I'm sure they sound a bit different; others are quite unfamiliar to me...I can just imagine all the beautiful sounds they produce!
hi bharat, i hadn't been here in a while. how i enjoy your blog!
So many exotic musical instruments some of which I have never seen before in my life!
The pungi has a male and female version?
Wonder how some of these instruments sound like? Maybe you can put up a YouTube performance of musicians playing these instruments? : )
Thank you for sharing photos of these musical instruments. Perhaps you could provide a little history about them in the future.
