Babu Sherbande, Nila Sewlinga Vaghmare, and Ratna Shanka Vaghmare, Miraj (India), 1963

Description:
Musician and teacher Babu Sherbande plays manjira (small bronze finger cymbals) for a song sung by his student, Nila Sewlinga Vaghmare. She plays a cawandga, a variable tension monochord whose string is attached to a wooden handle, and stretched and loosened by the left hand, while being plucked with the right-hand fingers. Bronze bells (ghanti) are attached to the bronze holder for the strap that is attached to the wooden cylindrical body, whose upper edge is rimmed in bronze, and whose bottom is covered by a thin leather membrane, through which the end of the string passes and is tied. Bronze jingles are attached to the wooden handle. Nila Vaghmare’s daughter, Ratna Shankar Vaghmare, sings along and plays a tuṇtuṇe, a plucked monochord with a horsehead peg and a wooden cylindrical resonator. The cawandga and tuṇtuṇe were made in the shop of Abdul Karim Ismail Saheb, sitar makers of Miraj.
