First attempt at playing giant Surbahar... Never seen or heard about any Surbahar this big, length is 185 cm! Thanks to Niels Overgaard Petersen for passing this instrument on to me.
Raag Jog is The Blues ! the netherworld between the western major and minor can be thought of with both Ghandar notes of this beautiful evening raag.........
You have succeeded in mastering the been ang of surbahar. I would humbly urge you to listen to the renditions of Pt. Santosh Banerjee for deeper insights. Thank you for the wonderful Jog.
Thank you so much for your kind words, but I dont think I have mastered anything after just few years of Surbahar.... I do already listen to Pt Santosh Bannerjee as he is also my Dada Guru and I enjoy his touch in alaap 🙏🎶
Deep meditative Raag Jog. Rare to find a westerner playing dhrupad with such maturity. Surbahar is meant for dhrupad and you handled it excellently. Who is your guru?
It is impossible to find one of these huge surbahars. In the mid sixties Rikhi Ram developed what is hot the standard size and the manufacturing of the large ones seems to hav ceased.. I've been looking for a couple of years. Any of this size would have been made in the 50s or earlier. I know that Pt Mukherjee has one but I haven't found a video of him playing itt.
This one was custom made by Radha Krishna Sharma in 1980. I read there was a large one in the family of Ustad Imrat Khan, but it was still smaller than this. This size I wouldn´t recommend to any person who is not very tall.

@@samdbz8680 are you saying you know how to track down this instrument? ;) Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to visit your amazing ancient world heritage ruins ✌️
KG, your music is an inspiration! The size of a surbahar is limited to only two factors: the size of available gourds, and the size of available wood for the tabli. So, I am curious, how wide IS the tabli? and, what is the length of the scale? Many thanks!
@@shardamusicstudio2596 Amazing. And the gourd is apparently wider. One imagines good-quality wood of this width is nearly impossible to find. It must take great hand and finger strength to play this instrument!
Beautiful tonal quality, sustained long meend notes, and more than well-played Jog. Who is the artist performing here? He looks Western European. Unusually long stem and large size of this instrument. Worth producing copies of it. But where did the large gourd come from, or is this a wooden box acting in place of a natural gourd?
