00:00 Hello to all the Hindu Tamil designers! Today we are at an Isai Karavi.
00:06 Isai Karavi? What is Isai Karavi? It is a place where people do Mridangam.
00:10 In all the places like marriages, temples, festivals, Karnataka music events, this Mridangam is an important part.
00:16 Let's see how they do this Mridangam in this video. Come!
00:22 [Music]
00:45 Let's ask Edwin about the Mridangam. First tell us about yourself.
00:51 My name is Edwin. I am doing this Mridangam business.
00:56 I am also working. I am working outside.
01:00 I have been doing this business for 5 generations.
01:04 I am doing this business without leaving it.
01:07 I do it in the morning when I get time. Then I do it on Saturdays and Sundays.
01:12 When did you start learning this Mridangam?
01:15 I started doing it when I was 10 years old.
01:18 I learned it completely when I was 15.
01:21 I still have to learn it. It is like a sea.
01:24 I have been doing it since I was 15.
01:27 The important thing is to tune it.
01:32 Tuning is like a meat shop.
01:35 Learning it completely is a great art.
01:38 Only if we learn it, we can do it.
01:42 I learned it in 15 years.
01:45 I have to learn it in detail.
01:48 I have to learn it in detail.
01:51 It is a skin. It is related to skin.
01:54 I have to learn it in detail.
01:57 I have been doing it since I was 15.
02:00 What is the size of this?
02:03 There are different sizes.
02:06 How many types are there?
02:09 Generally, there are 3 sizes.
02:12 18 inches, 22 inches, and 24 inches.
02:17 These are the standard sizes.
02:20 Some people are up to 25 inches.
02:23 I was very tall, but I was up to 26 inches.
02:26 So, I have to do it until I can hear it.
02:29 The 18 and 22 inches are for female vocalists.
02:34 That tune is around 5 inches.
02:37 The 24 inches is for male vocalists.
02:42 They can play it when they sing.
02:45 Only that tune is played.
02:48 The size changes according to the sound.
02:53 The size changes according to the sound.
02:56 Which tree is this tune made of?
02:59 The sides are made of skin.
03:02 We use palm trees.
03:05 Why palm trees?
03:08 We have used palm trees in many songs.
03:11 But, the circumference of the tree is the same.
03:19 It does not grow.
03:22 Some say that the tree will grow.
03:25 But, that does not happen.
03:28 How old is the tree?
03:31 Palm trees are cut down to 40 years.
03:42 The base tree is a good tree.
03:45 All trees are good.
03:48 But, the quality is the base tree.
03:51 The difference between the base and the top tree is...
03:54 The base tree is 40 years old.
03:57 The top tree is 25 years old.
04:00 The tree will grow.
04:03 The crack will fall.
04:06 The top tree will fall.
04:09 The quality of the wood is determined by the price.
04:12 The price for the base tree and the top tree.
04:15 The weight of the wood is also determined.
04:21 We buy the wood from the palm trees.
04:24 We buy the wood from the palm trees.
04:27 We tell them the size of the wood.
04:30 We tell them the size of the wood.
04:33 They will give us the wood.
04:36 Or we will send an order.
04:39 We will get the wood according to the requirement.
04:42 We will get the wood according to the requirement.
04:45 Which animal skin do you use?
04:48 We use three types of skin for the wood.
04:51 We use three types of skin for the wood.
04:54 Buffalo skin, Goat skin and Cow skin.
04:57 We use three types of skin for the wood.
05:00 Which skin gives the best sound?
05:03 The skin is very important.
05:06 How does the sound of the skin in the base tree and the top tree come?
05:09 There are two main tones in the wood.
05:12 One is called Kuchimuthu and the other is called Kappi.
05:15 Kuchi is a little thin.
05:18 It has a low thickness.
05:21 Kappi is a little thick.
05:24 Kappi is like a bell.
05:27 These three tones are the main tones in the wood.
05:30 The skin is important for the wood.
05:33 How long does it take to make a wood?
05:41 It depends on the weather.
05:44 If it is hot, it takes three days to dry.
05:47 If it is hot, it takes three days to dry.
05:50 If it is sunny, it takes two days to dry.
05:53 If it is rainy, it takes four to five days to dry.
05:56 If I have to make a full wood in the rainy season,
05:59 it takes me one week to ten days.
06:02 If it is summer, it takes me five to six days to dry.
06:05 Each wood has a different price.
06:08 What is the price for each wood?
06:11 For example, if you buy a 22-inch wood,
06:14 you will get a rope or leather rope for 11,000 rupees.
06:17 If you buy a 13-inch wood with the same bolted rope,
06:20 you will get a rope for 13,000 rupees.
06:23 If you make a Merudangam,
06:26 do you have any disadvantages?
06:29 If a new beginner comes,
06:32 they will buy it here.
06:35 If they buy it in Chennai, play in Madurai,
06:38 or play in Bangalore,
06:41 the weather will change.
06:44 If you go to Bangalore, it will be chill.
06:47 If it is AC, the weather will change.
06:50 The sun will set in the summer.
06:53 The sun will set in the summer.
06:56 The sun will set in the summer.
06:59 It depends on the leather.
07:02 It is better to analyze it before buying it.
07:05 Everything will be perfect if you do it here.
07:08 Even if I give this Merudangam to an artist,
07:11 there will be a small variation
07:14 when I play the concert the next day.
07:17 Our body will be like a leather.
07:20 It will be like a leather.
07:23 It will be like a leather.
07:26 It will be like a leather.
07:29 The tune will change according to that.
07:32 We have to catch the bar.
07:35 We cannot do that in Bangalore.
07:38 We have to analyze it before buying it.
07:41 If we buy it, it will be like
07:44 "It was good there, but not here".
07:47 It will be like "It is changing".
07:50 It happens to everyone.
07:53 It will be easier if we understand it.
07:56 You said that some people buy it without knowing.
07:59 We have to check all these.
08:02 When we buy, we have to check the quality.
08:05 How much is the cut?
08:08 Even if we buy a second quality cut,
08:11 we have to check the shape.
08:14 We have to check the shape.
08:17 We have to check the shape.
08:20 We have to check the shape.
08:23 If you look at leather,
08:26 you have to check the tone.
08:29 You have to check the tone.
08:32 You have to check the tone.
08:35 If you look at it,
08:38 you cannot say anything negative.
08:41 If we buy it without this,
08:44 I will do it without it.
08:47 The weather changes will make it worse.
08:50 The weather changes will make it worse.
08:53 We have understood the importance of
08:56 the musical instrument called 'Mirangam'.
