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 inches. The
wooden frame is covered with a goat skin and is aquipped
with a pair of jingles on one side for getting a sharp
cut sound. Without 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).
