Uday,
You are given 30 minutes time for unveiling the new instrument . I am pretty sure for visually unveiling 30 seconds will do . I do know you have a capacity to talk like siddhartha basu of anthakalathu quiz time and wrap up your aural unveiling which needs your minimal time to talk and also to demonstrate the instrument . You also need time to set the instrument .

I have seen posts from bangalore forumites like HNBhagavan where they say Usually from chennai the same few artists are only invited to bangalore - it looks you have done something impossible .Best wishes on your udayan express journey- you achieved some thing remarkable . Time for really talking as fast as siddhartha basu - in rapid fire mode.

Thanks Rajesh.

You also need time to set the instrument .

That may not be a problem because it can be "pre-assembled" off stage and carried over.

Kindly play one or two hindustani songs in full.

Uday,
As I said before, you will be amidst people who are educated, well informed about classical music, and well versed in English.
Technical concepts should be de-jargonised.
Positive comparisons with wind and string instruments will set the tone.
Please comment about:
1. Tuning
2. Blowing ease
3. Scale and range
4. Impact of electronic amplification and hall acoustics.
5. How it combines with accompaniment
6. Transportability
7. Product distribution strategy
8. Any maestros signed up to try the instrument.
9. Your own journey so far and ahead.
10. Your gurus

Thanks Nageshwaran sir.

Sachi, your IIT+MBA brain is in overdrive ! I will do my best in the available time. Look forward to seeing you there !
