Shehnai, Indian Musical Instrument


This double-reed instrument belonging to the wind category is among the most widely known Musical Instruments in the world. Shehnai in the North has been regarded as an auspicious sound of music and is a must on festive occasions like marriages, etc. when it takes on the name of mangal dhwani. A somewhat similar type of instrument in Western music is the oboe. The oboe and Shehnai have gradually acquired the status of instruments to be played in chamber music. The Shehnai has specially assumed the status of a classical instrument, which can be heard in many conferences in addition to religious functions. The Shehnai has eight or nine holes and the performer uses his discretion to regulate the pitch of the sound produced.

This Instrument is very subtle and has a tube which gradually widens towards the lower end. The sound is so beautiful and loud that it can be heard from a distance. The reed is the most important aspect of a Shehnai which is placed at the narrow blowing end of the instrument. This is made of a kind of pala grass, which is cultivated in Uttar Pradesh. The reed of the Shehnai has to be adjusted and without it, the artist cannot blow it to produce the proper tonal quality. That is why the lips and the tongue play upon the reed mouthpiece and in which the holes are opened or closed with the fingers. It is considered a most sensitive instrument in Indian music. Playing of the Shehnai involves a highly complicated technique - to produce half-tones and quarter-tones, the finger-holes are partially closed and opened through super sensitive adjustments in the pressure of air blown into the pipe.
It is very likely that the Shehnai came from Persia and Egypt as is seen in the paintings and carvings on Egyptian tombs, dating to 3000 BC. This instrument and Ustad Shah Mohammad find mention in the Ain-i Akbari, with the Ustad being a well-known exponent of the instrument during Akbar's time. It is interesting to note that there is another instrument called the Sundri which is smaller in size than the Shehnai, but is no longer played by many in India today, except by the family of Siddharam Yadav in Madhya Pradesh and some others.

Valiha


This is one of the most traditional and typical musical instrument found mainly in the center of the island.

Historically, it might have come from the connection of the Malagasy ancestor with south asian countries (Vietnam, Phillipines, Indonesia). The name Valiha means musical instrument (from the sanskrit vadya).

Originally, this instrument was played only at mystical and religious ceremonies, because it represents peace.

Drum and Percussion Instruments


In percussion instruments, the sound source is a vibrating membrane (like a drum head), or a vibrating piece of material (like a xylaphone). The drummer / percussionist causes the material to vibrate by hitting, striking, shaking, or rubbing the instrument

Musical tones are longitudinal vibrations of air, at specific frequencies / wavelengths. Each musical note corresponds to a specific frequency / wavelength. For instance, the standard tuned 'A' note has a frequency of 440 hertz (440hz), which means that the wavelength passes through the air at 440 cycles in one second. The corresponding wavelength of the note 'A' is about .75 meters.

Wind Musical Instruments


In wind instruments, the sound source is a vibrating column of air inside a tube. The length and diameter of the vibrating air in the tube affects the pitch. The more volume of air vibrating, the lower the pitch. A wind instrument player can adjust the areas of vibrating air by opening and closing holes along the instruments length.

Stringed Musical Instruments


In stringed instruments, the sound source is a tensioned, vibrating string. The length, thickness, tension and density of the string all affect the pitch of a given string. Longer, thicker, and looser strings vibrate slower than shorter, thinner, tighter strings. After tuning a stringed instrument, the player can fret (press down) on the strings at certain points to shorten the vibrating portion of the string, thereby changing the tone that is produced.

Karaoke Idol


Karaoke is hilarious, embarrassing, and in some cases, life altering to the nth degree. Hilarious: Our masculine, co-worker drunkenly serenading us with, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. Embarrassing: Our masculine, co-worker drunkenly serenading us with, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. Life altering: American Idol! The biggest difference between you and your friends singing Abba's "Dancing Queen" or Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" in your living room or local bar, and Taylor Hicks crooning, "Georgia On My Mind" on national television is that he could have been sent home, while you, and your singing crew can belt or warble it out all night, every night, to the benefit or dismay of your audience (or neighbor). Acekaraoke.com can help take some of the humility out of the mix (or at least confine it to your bedroom), and with their humongous variety of songs, karaoke machines, music books, microphones and more, keep you fully prepared for your next karaoke jam or clams. While acekaraoke.com does offer such titles as Disney Karaoke, The Songs of The Eagles, Karaoke 101, and Tropical Zone Latin Hits 1125, as wells as custom built karaoke systems, club systems, DJ/KJ Lighting among other vocal varieties, unfortunately, they do not provide, apology letters, singing lessons, ear plugs,
