Mr.John Boswell's (Paris, France) Banaras gharana tabla guru is Kishan Maharaj, the one who appreciated tabalist Karamat Tullah Kha-n's talent + forwarded his political tabla ideas; now Mr.Boswell too is a tabla guru, other than being a high level businessman. Kolkata, India, & SHARE.❤

Benaras style sound production very clearly explained

Nice composition. Vahh!

are bayan and dayan to be adjusted on same pitch/scale?

how many bracing tired on wooden blocks? in video it seems 4 bracing are tied on wooden blocks while other videos seen only 2 bracing are tied on wooden blocks.

Thank you Sir, Lots of. love and respect from India ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Boz. Watching your "Lesson 1" I recall the day of your own lesson one and your first tabla, sitting in our shack up there in Dhungri (sp?) village above Manali in 1973. Then meeting again one Saturday night in Wardour street decades later. Time passes....

Great stuff

Very nice video. Thank you for the demonstration.

Bonjour John. Je suis Jérôme. Nous nous sommes rencontrés en juillet 2020 à GoodPlanet lors de votre démonstration d'instruments de percussion dans la salle d'exposition des 1001 instruments traditionnels. Je souhaiterais rentrer en contact avec vous. Comment est-ce possible de le faire s'il vous plaît ? J'ai laissé un message de contact au secrétariat de GoodPlanet sur leur site mais je n'ai eu aucune réponse. Merci à vous de me dire. Jérôme.

Can someone help me to tune my tablas. I am a beginner and I just bought it. It sounds very low comparing to all the tablas I heard. I would really appreciate if someone can give my his advice. Thanks Pierre

Hello John. Thanks a million time for your great lessons. Very clean and super explanations for a beginner like me. I started tabla ... Yesterday at 51 ... We say never late to start ... Merci

Hello. Thanks very much for your great vid. I even appreciate a lot as I'm waiting my tabla set just shipped today. So I will use the indications you provided in order to get in tune both drums. Thanks again for this.

Very useful

I've watched a lot of videos on tabla buying and tuning. By far this is the best as I not understand that tablas are tuned to their own level. Thanks
