PICTURES OF THE INSTRUMENTS.
 GUITAR-
 The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that typically has 6 strings. It is
held flat against the player’s body and played by strumming or plucking
the strings with the dominant hand, while simultaneously pressing
selected strings against frets with the fingers of the opposite hand.
 The important parts of guitar are:
 Body: The body of an acoustic guitar is made up of the soundboard, or
top, and the back and sides.
 Neck: The neck of the guitar projects from the main guitar body and
includes the fretboard, frets, headstock, and truss rod (which stabilizes
the forward curve, or “relief,” of the neck, keeping it from bending due to
the tension of the strings).
 Fingerboard (a.k.a. Fretboard): Laminated to the front of the neck is
the fingerboard or fretboard, by far one of the most important parts to
consider when selecting a guitar, as it affects comfort, playing style, and
tone.
 Frets: Guitar frets are raised parts on the fingerboard of the guitar that
extend across the full width of the neck, and are generally made of metal.
 Tabla
 A Tabla is a pair of twin hand drums from the Indian subcontinent. Since the 18th
century, Tabla has been the principal percussion instrument in Hindustani classical
music, where it may be played solo, as accompaniment with other instrument and
vocals, and as a part of larger ensembles.
 Important parts of Tabla
 The tabla consists of two drums, the bayan or the left drum and the dayan or the
right drum, but the collective name for both the drums is tabla. The left is a small
spherical drum, which resembles the shape of the kettle drum.
 2 Tabla Sounds:
• Ringing bell-like tones. These tones are distinguished by a clear sense of pitch, sharp
attack and long sustain. Ta, tin and tun are examples.
• Resonant bass strokes. This is the stroke ghe. ...
• Closed, crisp sounds. These sounds have sharp attacks and decays and sound
damped.

PIANO
About Piano
 A piano is a keyboard musical instrument that has wire strings that sound when
struck by felt-covered hammers operated from a keyboard. ...
 The standard modern piano has 88 keys and has a compass of seven full octaves
plus a few keys. ...
 There have been many great pianists over time with a variety of styles.
 piano, also called pianoforte, French piano or pianoforte, German Klavier, a keyboard
musical instrument having wire strings that sound when struck by felt-covered
hammers operated from a keyboard. The standard modern piano contains 88 keys
and has a compass of seven full octaves plus a few keys.
 See all videos for this article
 The vibration of the strings is transmitted to a soundboard by means of a bridge over
which the strings are stretched; the soundboard amplifies the sound and affects its
tone quality. The hammers that strike the strings are affixed to a mechanism resting
on the far ends of the keys; hammer and mechanism compose the “action.” The
function of the mechanism is to accelerate the motion of the hammer, catch it as it
rebounds from the strings, and hold it in position for the next attack. Modern
hammers are covered with felt; earlier, leather was used
DRUMS
ABOUT DRUMS
 The drum is a member of the percussion group of musical instruments.
In the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system, it is a membranophone.
[1] Drums consist of at least one membrane, called a drumhead or
drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and struck, either directly with
the player's hands, or with a percussion mallet, to produce sound.
There is usually a resonance head on the underside of the drum,
typically tuned to a slightly lower pitch than the top drumhead. Other
techniques have been used to cause drums to make sound, such as the
thumb roll. Drums are the world's oldest and most ubiquitous musical
instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually unchanged for
thousands of years.[1]
 Drums may be played individually, with the player using a single drum,
and some drums such as the djembe are almost always played in this
way. Others are normally played in a set of two or more, all played by
the one player, such as bongo drums and timpani. A number of
different drums together with cymbals form the basic modern drum k
