The Tumbi is a one string musical instrument that is known for being easy to play (it even says so on the Wikipedia page), but how easy is it exactly?
This week Charles tries not to embarrass himself as he attempts to play the Tumbi for the first time!

Thank you for the heart @LOOTd

@Vei2aC 6 месяцев назад

with friction pegs on instraments, you need to add a wax or chalk, it nearly eliminates that problem with it slipping out of tune.

@FredtheDorfDorfman1985 Год назад

The peg handle should be on the backside of the neck, with the tip of the peg sticking through to the front, with the string wound on on the tip of the peg and wound tight against the neck so it pulls the peg in tighter as you wind the string. It’s how violinists wind their strings to keep pegs tight, by winding the string against the wall of the peg box so it pulls the peg in tighter.

You can do a high-tech stabilization of the tuning peg: Simply add saliva to where the peg meets the neck! Or google the way violinists deal with slipping and stuck pegs

@dsanj4745 3 года назад

Apparently 'easiest' is a subjective term. Regarding the Missy Elliot tune, have you considered the possibility that ONE Tumbi note was sampled, then mapped to a keyboard, drum machine or virtual instrument? That's how I'd do it... to keep it easy.

@melissawardjohns220 3 года назад

Alot of strings players use peg paste or a bit of wax to tighten up the peg so that it doesn't come loose. The wax if you use it should only be hand warm bees wax that you fold onto the peg after you had balled it then wedge it gently back into the peg hole. Had to do so with my cello and a friend's violin. Held tune fine after.

@avanm420 4 месяца назад

Some chalk on the tuning peg end will hold it in tune (NOT drawing type chalk. That has wax in it)

@rsitarsi4804 4 года назад

Your right hand movements were totally correct, but they should have supplied a Mizrab Indian plectrum for you to use. Also, the Tumbi was a very small size, and not easy for you to hold, but you did well. Best regards. R.

This one is not an actual tumbi, this one's just a showpiece, authentic tumbis are really good sounding and much more reliable while tuning. I'll be uploading a video soon on my channel mentioning the differences between authentic and look alike tumbis.

@kidsonicofficial 2 года назад

It's fretless for a reason. Traditional Indian music uses Microtonal temperament hence why it's "difficult to tune". It's not meant to be tuned to the western 12 note classical scale. If there are any Indian classical musicians in the comments please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Although I don't think I am because I have a friend who is trying to create a tool to allow microtonal tuning in modern daws, and she explained this to me a while ago (the Microtonal temperament).

to keep it in tune I think you can drill a (small) hole in the tuning peg

@JadsMusic 2 года назад

Tension pegs can come loose if you don't apply inward pressure while tuning the peg to a lower note. Many violins, banjos and folk instruments like the tumbi have tension pegs like these.

@SSChambers1 4 года назад

Just blame the string action for being a mile away from the "fretboard" hindering playability and intonation 😉

@RetroFamilyVids 3 года назад

Amar Singh Chamkila was a magician with Tumbi.

@davidbostock6089 4 года назад

I'm no fan of peg tuning, but violins get by with them just fine. Some of it has to do with with winding the string so it squishes against the instrument as wound tighter. Also the wood used for the instrument neck and the pegs can make for arrange that stays tight. Search violin tuning videos.
