Taus instrument

Taus, an AncientInstrument August 5, 2013 — My friend Nirvair Kaur Khalsa has had a long career as director of the Montessori schools she founded in Tucson. I met her yesterday at Her interest in religion made her curious about the origins of the teachings she follows. She has studied with Bhai I plan to return when she is singing during the ceremony. The instrument is a work of art in itself; it produces the sound of ancient India. Her vocation to learn and play these poems of traditional significance in the original way is impressive. I believe the gentle readers would like to see this peacock cello in full glory.

The Taus is the blessing of the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh. As a master of the Persian language he named this glorious instrument 'Taus', which is Persian for ‘peacock’. The instrument was designed and played by the great Guru himself to guide us by example. The sound of the Taus is wonderfully melodious, taking you to a complete heavenly state where you can feel the warmth of the universe. The Taus is played with a bow and is handcrafted from one piece of high-quality wood (tun wood). The crafting of this graceful instrument requires vast skill, dedication and effort.

Rabab is a plucked instrument with gut strings that give more power and deepness in its sound. The mellow yet piercing sound comes due to a hollow base which is covered with animal skin. Not only does this instrument sing and resonate but it also keeps the rhythm by using the plectrum. It is a two-in-one instrument, which carries the tune as well as the rhythm.
