Dear Kasim,
It would be nice if you look at some of the postings on other parts of this site where someone has asked about why the Thavil plays before even the alapana by Nadaswaram begins etc. I wanted an authentic VIDWAN answer such questions & I am glad you have started these discussions. PL take a look & answer the queries WHEN YOU FIND TIME. I KNOW HOW BUSY YOU ARE!. Of course I realise you do not want to answer certain questions like why A is BETTER than B etc but it would be nice if you can answer GENUINE technical queries.
It will be another feather in your cap as one of the few I KNOW OF WHO IS DOING ANYTHING AT ALL TOWARDS THE ATTEMPTS TO RESTORE THE NADASWARAM TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE ; TO QUOTE BILL. SKELTON " Nadaswaram is a unique instrument in ANY musical system in the world we know of" as well as not only maintaining the 300 year old Karavadi Heritage as well as REMINDING US OF T.N.R'S GREATNESS. vkv

Dear Kasim,

Member General questions on NadaswaramFew general questions...
1. Typically what is the pitch / sruti of the instrument?
2. Why there is no tanpura sruti accompliment with nadaswaram concert?
3. Usually tavil vidwan start playing even before song start!! So, there is a co-ordination between nadaswaram & tavil vidwan before the concert on what order the songs are performed?
4. Any particular reason why percussion is played before song commences?
