KEY
This Tintal Lahara CD set is available in four keys; C#, G, A, and A#. We will describe the way to tell what key is appropriate for you.
The simple process:
Just order a set in C#. The vast majority of tablas sold are made to work in this pitch. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you will
retune your tabla.
The detailed process:
For those who are extremely particular, here are the details of the laharas and how to choose the key that best suits you. The laharas and their
keys have been chosen so that a tabla of any key will fall upon either Sa, Pa, Shuddha-Ma, or Shuddha-Ga. These notes are present in all laharas.
Therefore, if your tabla is tuned to international pich, you need not retune your tabla just to fit the lahara. There is definitely a lahara to
accommodate your tabla. The table below lists the keys of the laharas and the tablas for which they are appropriate.
