This club is to listen, practice or discuss everything about carnatic style violin 🎻 
About 200 years ago, during the British rule over India, Violin first made its entry into Carnatic music chiefly through Balaswami Dikshitar among others. A carnatic violinist sits cross-legged on the floor and balances the instrument between his chest and the ankle-bone of his right foot, on which rests the scroll of the violin. This posture facilitates the free movement of the left hand along the fingerboard, particularly in producing the gamakas (graces) integral to the Carnatic mode.
