Thanks for the encouragement peoples. I'm over the moon with this. Simple things for simple people!
And yes! I do have Tumbi. Is it possible to know how to play one? I just hold it and make noises. I suppose I could work on my speed. It's such fun for a one string instrument. I also own a Gopichand which I think is way cooler and with much more comedy value. Alas, I had a Sitar but had to sell it. It was crap.
