Kartal is an ancient instrument mainly used in devotional / folk songs. It has derived its name from words ‘kara’ means hand and ‘tala’ means clapping.

This Plastic clapper is a Ghana Vadya which has discs or plates that produce a clinking sound when clapped together.

It falls under the class of idiophones of self-sounding instruments that combine properties of vibrator and resonator.

A pair of Plastic castanets with bells attached to them was the earliest form of the kartal. These pieces of plastic are not connected in any way; however, they can be clapped together at high speeds to make rapid complex rhythms.

It is 8.5 inches in length and 2.3 inch in width. It has a handle which is 3 inches in length and 1 inch wide. It has a hole for the thumb which has a diameter of 1 inch. It weighs around 173 gm.

Aside from being an excellent accompaniment instrument, the khartal is valued for being a highly portable percussion instrument.

Usually made of wood or metal, a khartal player will hold one ‘male’ and ‘female’ khartal in each hand. The ‘male’ khartal is usually thicker and is held with the thumb while the ‘female’ khartal is usually thinner and is mainly balanced on the ring finger, which represents the fire element.
