Even the terms Jori* had become extinct. People only called it “aattey wala tabla”. The term along with its hyphenated versions Jori-pakhāwaj and Jori-Mridañg were all ideated and propagated by Bhai Baldeep Singh.

Bhai Baldeep Singh recovered the term Jori from the checkered memory of the two main masters he studied with. The hyphenated names were simply drafted by him in the early 90s to emphasise that he wasn’t referring to tabla. Baba Sham Singh’s [1] and other references only proved that Bhai Baldeep Singh's field work was not only substantive but very accurate.

*the dimensions of the Jori-pakhāwaj, the application of the wheat dough (āttā) and playing techniques he imbibed from Ustad Bhāī Arjan Singh Tarangar has impacted everyone subsequently associated with the instrument. It is Bhāī Baldeep Singh’s revived Jori that is being copied and played across the globe by enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals alike.
