Khunde!

[Dss91]

Hi guys!


I'm from the UK, and part of a university bhangra team. We've been using quite traditional khunde and performing with those for 2 years.


However, this year we're looking to change it up and use the smaller and more lightweight ones we see most NA teams use and even Khalsa college and other teams in India use.


I was just wondering, where you order yours from? And do you get bamboo ones? And what do you say when you order them (if from India), "I'd like lightweight khunde"?


We just wanna make sure when we order, we say the correct thing, because it can be so much hassle to send them back if they're not correct.


Thanks!

If you are specifically after the higher quality bamboo khunde, this thread would probably help answer your questions: http://bhangrateamsforum.com/discuss/main-bhangra-discussion/bamboo-khunde/

You can contact Harkiran if you're interested in them, by sending her a PM or e-mailing her directly: http://bhangrateamsforum.com/discuss/index.php?action=profile;u=72


If you're looking for cheaper options, then you can either make your own OR contact Lali from Bhangra Avenue (http://www.bhangraavenue.com/instruments.html). Their company is based in India and they have many connections, so I'm sure they can find whatever you're looking for. Their prices are reasonable and they have worked many different teams in North America by providing them vardiya, props, instruments, etc etc. If asked, just tell them Basim referred ya

Hope that helps,

Basim
