Shehnai - Musical instrument of India from http://images.publicradio.org/content/2006/08/28/20060828_shehnai_3.jpghttp://indianraga.blogspot.com/
While rumpaging through the numerous websites on google, I found this website. It further indicates the usefulness of blogs. I would never have guessed that something so purtinent to our class would be on the same web server. On this webserver are clips of Indian players from the citar to the shehnai. I really enjoyed listening to the unique and rather calming shehnai maestro, Bismillah Khan. The instrument is truly unique to say the least and sounds quite like buzzing bees.
http://www.balibeyond.com/gamelanscales.html This is just a nice website to describe anythings one might want to know about gamelons.
Although it takes a few seconds to download. This website shows a few clips of people making gamelan instruments. It also ends with a nice set of fancy feet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5rmfevpUhw Rhythm of the gamelan makers provides even more information with music constantly in the background. You can view the workers put the metal into a furnace or heated mound and pound away at the metal while a narrator describes the process. A very interesting video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s0Hx20qJKo&feature=related
