Kanjira
is a small south indian frame drum which is very much
related to the family of tambourines. As the traditional
lizard skin is prohibited due to protection of species
a good meanwhile fromt he Kanjira players more and
more accepted alternativ is the goat skin which we
offer. There are also opinions from Kanjira players
who even prefer the goat skin because they say it
is possible to play deeper without breaking the skin.
After playing for a while the goat skin gets more
and more felxible and is ready for fantastic modulations.
The
diameter of the wooden rim is appx. 7 to 8 inches.
The wooden frame is covered with a goat skin and is
aquipped with a pair of brass jingle on one side for
getting a sharp cut sound. Withour any tuning the
sound of the Kanjira is high. To get good sound out
of the goat skin it has to be sprinkled with water
on the inner side to get more flexibility. This procedure
has to be done very carefully because if one uses
to much water the sound gets dull. If it happened
one has to wait about 10 minutes to give the skin
a chance to get dry again. It needs some experience
how much water one should use. The right amount of
water supports a fantastic bass sound and a big range
of modulation is possible similar as we know it from
the tabla. Kanjira also reacts to climatic contitions.
Kanjira is traditionally mostly used in the south
indian classical music (carnatic music system of south
india).
