Sat Siri Akaal ji veere, I just have an urgent question. Can you please tell me which Kirtan instruments were used before the british "Vaaja/Baaja" came? I mean what kind of instruments Guru jis played with , bhai mardana etc.. I really want to learn - I have this strong feeling and this is my only chance because my parents are recently in india and I hope I can beg to them that they can buy me a instrument.. Because I dont kno where to buy.. I just saw a video on youtube which instrument is this?? Sarangi , Tanti Saaj? I dont know the real diffence please tell me.. I really want to learn it.. because I can identify myself with these vibes and tunes... please!! I love these deep dark sounding string instruments combined with guru jis bani it is such a BLISS! I dont know how to explain . I like these deep dark tunes.. and not these happy jarring tunes/sounds. Here is another example , maybe this can explain more: thank you for helping me. And btw: if you ask why I dont go to a local gurudwara : its simple, I live in germany we have no gurudwara near here... I know it will be difficult to learn on myself etc... but what else I can do ? I have no choice and I really want to ... These tunes just fullify my a place in my heart.. I feel I am lacking something and this is the solution...
