What Instrument Shall I Learn?

[Guest _Moorakh_]

I want to start learning how to do Kirtan...I was thinking Harmonium as its widely taught or maybe dilruba, cos I like listerning to kirtan with a Dilruba in. Im from the UK so are there any people that teach dilruba in Midlands/South...otherwise its Harmonium or anything else people think I should look into.

The good old Tabla man. Because you can POUND IT, when do simran of Akal Purakh. WAHEGURU WAHEGURU WAHEGURU.

Just POUND the damn tabla, as you brits say "init"

if you can afford it and hav ethe resources (i.e, the teachers) around you, i'd so encourage the dilruba.

the harmonium is probably the easiest of the bunch.... i'd totally go for dilruba, and then learn vaja as a backup too..cuz you'r right..it is more prevalent

I know this is a super hard instrument but i feel like taus is such a beautiful instrument to learn. Not many people know how to play it so that would make it even more cool to learn how to play!

But as you said so many people know how to play vaja so that would be a great choice for learning options.

Usually people are drawn towards certain instruments. What have you always wanted to learn and how much time can you devote to learning something new.

Hope you enjoy the choice you make! :cool:

*EDITED*, if you don't know anything at least don't open your mouth.

What I was saying was that with the tabla you can get your josh out, the amount of love you have for Akal Purakh. You can play it really loud with the beat going with the rhythm to Waheguru, Waheguru. Come over here and see how I play the tabla, rather than assuming things you retard. I can't believe I have to explain things twice to you guys, seriously learn to read.
