You were holding the tumbi wrong. I am from India. I have listened to people play that thing and it doesn't un-tune it self because they don't hold it like the way you hold it Charles.
@@adamgillespie3393 Bruh stop being so butthurt its his first time lol. Imagine picking up a violin or sitting down at a piano for the first time and people expect you to play perfectly the first time
There is another one string instrument. It's called "Ek-tara" ( literally, One string). It's from Westbengal, eastern region of India. The sound produced by Ek-tara is really peaceful.
Tumbi and Ek Tara both are same. Tumbi made with Indian Pumpkin or Bel fruit and Ek Tara made with hard wood. Both have same way to play. No other difference.
Hey bro i am from punjabi and i am playing tumbi from last 3 years Its sound is heart touching but And it is not very easy instrument It makes beats in our heart Hey bro you can putt me question about this anytime And i help you Sorry bro my english language is week ☺☺☺
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.
Great video 😂 I've been a subscriber for 2 years now. This video is really funny as I was talking about that song a little while ago, and had wondered what that sound/instrument was, now I know! 😁
Man That is just 1 string that makes you sway those shoulders in sync with the floor beat :) That's Bhangra queen , The Baritone version is called Tumba :)
I've made one over my channel.... i suspect that these metal bands on the stick are made to be positioned as frets, so you don't have to push so hard, and then this would not get out of tune so quickly. The more you push the strings, more they get out of tune.
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
So this would be used for melodies! I also think I’ve heard it before but never new what it was in a couple songs. See if you can figure it out below! #1. Dinga dinga dinga da dinga dinga dinga yaaaea #2. Tanuk tanuk do da da da
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey there.. Good to know that u know a bit about Indian based instruments.. "Tanpura" the grandfather of bass guitars I believe... U should do a review of that ...
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).
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.
This is also called "ek tara" meaning 'one string ' its easy to play hold it with ur hand and with same hands index fingr play the string ....meera one of lords krishnas devotes used to play while singing bhajans /devotional songs u can find many videos on youtube too

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

Figures you can play this over the other instruments you've shown off since it's basically an acoustic otamatone.
Except that it came first... if you pardon the expression.
This is one of the greatest instruments ever man the sound is so sick.
The fact that you can play punjabi on it, would make me want to buy one.
Is this the instrument from "Mundiyan tu bach ke" by Panjabi MC?
Yes many punjabi music use this its one of the punjabi folk instrument
was just thinking about that.
It, in fact is that precisely.
It's carved quite a niche for itself in the Punjabi folk music world.
He said this was uses in it at the beginning
Yes my question is, why wouldn’t he try Mundian to bach ke first. He almost had it.

Tumbi is your master Indian instrument
Can you please put don’t copyright strike me on iTunes? It was so good
It hurt when he slapped the instrument in the table.
I flinched
for instruments with friction pegs (like the tumbi), try putting some chalk on the tuning peg. that'll help it keep in tune better
Im getting an otamatone deluxe
I'm getting a kalimba (you know, one of those "finger pianos")
IF YOU THINK THIS IS THE EASIEST INSTRUMENT, TRY TO PLAY IT PROPERLY...

I know right!!!

I believe the good reference is Panjabi Mc Mundian to Bach Ke
This channel is the instruments version of unbox therapy lol
This instrument sounds like a not Tuned violin played with a pick 😁
And now the instrument doesn't sound good in my head T_T
He is not playing it properly . You should search Punjabi folk music and you will know what it really sounds like .
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.

Yeah they look like moveable frets. Setar has something similar
It's called the yaktaro in Sindh. It is played along with another instrument I don't recall the name of. You can search it on RUclips.

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

“Tumbi is the easiest”
Triangle: allow me to introduce myself
you must be very intelligent
One string needs mastery.
Just blame the string action for being a mile away from the "fretboard" hindering playability and intonation 😉
ive used one of these in my song "dilli to dc". its quite easy if you know guitar or some string instrument already
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.
