Kartal Indian Musical Instrument

Kartal Indian Musical Instrument Review



Kartal Indian Musical Instrument Feature

  • Folk cymbal music instrument from India.
  • Material - wood and metal.
  • Length - 9 inches, Width - 3 inches.
  • Made by music instrument artisans of Bareilli in north India.
The kartal is also known as khartal. This too is an ancient instrument. It has always been a favourite with saints and seers. Even today we find the kartal being used in temples and gurdwaras. According to S Bandhopadhyaya in Musical Instruments of India kara means hand and tala means clapping, i.e., the instrument played by hands to keep rhythm in devotional song, kirtana and dance. Despite being used for devotional music it has carved an important place for itself amongst the exponents of folk music in Punjab. The contemporary rural bhangra dancers sport the toombi or iktara in one hand and khartal in the other while dancing. Meera Bai attained salvation by singing devotional songs using the toombi in one hand and kartal in the other. This instrument even today accompanies bhajans, hymns, or mournful songs on sad occasions. A pair of wooden castanets with little bells attached to them was the earliest form of the kartal. Kartal comprises two similar shaped wooden pieces and is approximately eight to twelve inches long and two to three inches wide. Small round brass pieces are affixed over these wooden pieces. One of the pieces has a space for the thumb and the other to hold four fingers. It is played by the same hand.

Gold tuning pegs.

Soprano Ukeleles

There are four common types of ukes out there: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The soprano--or standard--was the original, and is the smallest sized uke. It provides plenty of sweetness and that instantly recognizable ukulele sound.

Mahalo U-30BU Features

Maple Construction

The U-30BU features a maple body. Used with Ukeleles, maple provides a soft but pronounced tone, somewhat mellower than other tone woods.

Nato Neck With Maple Fretboard/Bridge

This instrument uses nato for its neck, for added resonance paired with the maple body. The 12-fret fretboard and bridge are made from blackened maple.

Geared Tuners

Mahalo's gold-pegged tuning machines provide solid tuning, so strum away confidently.

Nubone Saddle

Graphtech's Nubone material is a great alternative to plastic saddles used in some ukes, delivering more volume, more tone, and more harmonics.
