Milind Tulankar is an indian Jal-tarang (an ancient instrument comprised of china bowls filled with different levels of water, which are struck by means of two cane sticks) player. Milind started learning music from a very tender age. His grand father Late Pandit Shankar Kanhere who was a famous Jal-tarang player influenced Milind in taking up this unusual dying instrument, the Jal-tarang. Along with that Milind is proficient in playing Santoor, Tabla and Harmonium. His mother who is a vocalist has seen to it that along with a good instrumentalist he is a good singer too. Presently he is a disciple of Sitar maestro Ustad Shahid Parwez.

Milind's Grandfather and Guru late Pt. Shankarrao Kanhere was an accomplished Jal-tarang player from Satara, a small town in Maharashtra, India. 'A' graded artist of All India Radio, he played in numerous concerts all over India and popularised the instrument. He was trained in music by late Pt. Dattopant Mangalwedhekar from Pandharpur. Aesthetic development of a raga structure and command of rhythm were the highlights of his style. He has written a book on this instrument, published by Sanget-Karyalay, Hatharas.

The artist has won several prizes in his native country. Additional information can be obtained from Milind's website, www.jaltarang.com. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
