Tabla is percussion instrument with two drums 'daya' and 'baya'. Only the 'daya' drum is usually tuned. For checking the tuning the 'na' bol is played. Recorded using samson-go portable condenser mike at home. Placing the mike too close to tabla was clipping the sound and if placed away, it was not picking the extended resonance. Hence the mike was moved closer after attack, hence the apparent increase in amplitude and some doppler effect is seen.
Forty seconds, unamplified, easily looped of tree frogs, katydids and crickets. Didn't have my external mike along so it's just an iphone and recording app.
Some notes from the low register (d2) to the high register (g#4) of the instrument; staccato and legato playing; sorry i don't remember the mike used for the recording.
Getting ready for my shower, fly unzipping and snap opening with the rustle of taking them off and dropping them on the bathroom floor. Iphone, external mike, audacity.
