Tumbi, the Easiest Musical Instrument? | LOOTd Unboxing

The Tumbi is a one string musical instrument that is known for being easy to play (it even says so on the Wikipedia page), but how easy is it exactly?

This week Charles tries not to embarrass himself as he attempts to play the Tumbi for the first time!

Charles: the easiest instrument!
Also Charles: breaks a piece the minute he opens it

[wynndoesthings]

I wonder how Charles would do on a more difficult instrument like a violin lol

[joachim]

You were holding the tumbi wrong. I am from India. I have listened to people play that thing and it doesn't un-tune it self because they don't hold it like the way you hold it Charles.

There is another one string instrument. It's called "Ek-tara" ( literally, One string). It's from Westbengal, eastern region of India. The sound produced by Ek-tara is really peaceful.

Figures you can play this over the other instruments you've shown off since it's basically an acoustic otamatone.

Me when I see tumbi:
My brain:
TUNAK TUNAK TUN DA DA DAAA

[bridgetr]

Can you please put don’t copyright strike me on iTunes? It was so good

[japanfanatic]

Is this the instrument from "Mundiyan tu bach ke" by Panjabi MC?

[superdudey]

This is one of the greatest instruments ever man the sound is so sick.

This one is not an actual tumbi, this one's just a showpiece, authentic tumbis are really good sounding and much more reliable while tuning. I'll be uploading a video soon on my channel mentioning the differences between authentic and look alike tumbis.

[denizbluemusic]

for instruments with friction pegs (like the tumbi), try putting some chalk on the tuning peg. that'll help it keep in tune better

[gulshanninaniya]

IF YOU THINK THIS IS THE EASIEST INSTRUMENT, TRY TO PLAY IT PROPERLY...

[eduardoangelgaribaygiordan]

It hurt when he slapped the instrument in the table.

[Bsingh_vines]

Search for Sangtar, Kamal Heer with tumbi. You will learn more.

[shahanshahhussain]

It's called the yaktaro in Sindh. It is played along with another instrument I don't recall the name of. You can search it on YouTube.
