Tabla (English spelling)

Japanese: タブラ(英語表記)tabla
Tabla (English spelling)
The most representative membrano of North India. To be precise, it is called the tabla-baya because it consists of two instruments, a tabla and a baya. The tabla, played with the right hand, has a hollowed-out wooden body, while the baya, played with the left hand, has a clay or copper body. Both have leather stretched over the surface and a tightening cord for tuning. The two drums are tuned in octaves, and the surface of the drums is covered with small circular smears of a paste mixed with iron powder to give a change in tone to the rhythm. It is always used as a rhythm instrument in vocal and instrumental performances, and very sophisticated rhythms are played with the palm and five fingers.

北インドの最も代表的な膜鳴楽器。正確にはタブラとバヤ bayaの2個から成っているので,タブラ・バヤと呼ばれる。右手で奏するタブラは木をくりぬいた胴,左手のバヤは粘土あるいは銅製の胴。両方とも表面に皮が張られ,調子を合せる締め紐がついている。2個の太鼓はオクターブに調律され,音色の変化をリズムに与えるため表皮には鉄粉を混ぜた練りものが小円形に塗りつけられている。声楽や器楽演奏に必ずリズム楽器として用いられ,手のひら,5指で非常に高度なリズムを奏する。
