| T R Mali (Flute) Eduta Nilachite - Sankarabharanam Thygaraja N/A Private Collection A native of the temple town of Tiruvudaimarudur off the Cauvery-fed green belt of Thanjavur, he was only seven when he debuted (at the 1933 Thyagaraja festival in the Madras suburb of Mylapore). Soon he went on to gain complete mastery in his art that virtually defines new-age Carnatic flute-playing because quite a few subsequent exponents of the instrument are/were his disciples. In fact, Mali’s technique even led to a redesign of the Carnatic flute, whose reeds became thicker and the holes smaller. As musicologist P. Sambamurthy (19-01- 73) notes, “It was the eighth and extra hole that helped provide Mali with the extraordinary control he has on the instrument.” |
