ge or tun
A khuli (open) stroke with the left hand.
This stroke is particular to the pakhawaj and can be spoken as tun or ge depending on the context.
It is played with a flat hand to strike the drum so that the big knuckles of all four fingers meet the rim of the drum while the ends of all four fingers bounce onto the syahi (black spot) to create a resonant sound, the big knuckles must remain on the rim to control the sound. ….(CHECK MY DESCRIPTION HERE PLEASE)
