Female voice with male Sruti Mridangam

K H Vineeth plays an octave lower. For sharp voiced musicians, this seems a good option - and the sound is good. With nuts and bolts it seems, one does not have to carry it around in a rainy day around Mylapore streets :lol:. As was claimed by accompanists of MDR, in private talks - this one is not the Tanjore Marathi Grundig Tape collector. Another insider of a prominent musical family.

Thanks for posting this Shankarank.
Could you please explain a bit more? I think you are making a good point suggesting mridangam for female vocalists singing in Asharp or A shruthi. It is usually very hard to find a mridangam for A or A sharp shruthi - that's what I have seen in my experience.
What exactly has Vineeth ji done here ? can you tell please what shruthi mridagam he is using for this concert?
thanks
