Minor Scale: (In piano analogy, In ‘C’ minor scale, Ga, Dha and Ni are black keys rest
are white keys, I denoted them with a ‘ )
A# is called ‘A-sharp’
Bb is called ‘B-flat’ ; A# is same as Bb
With this, you should be able to play any song with the notation in carnatic/Hindustani or
Western.

If you play in true scale, this song is tough. Because, this is in Minor scale where you
have to use button with respective blow or take as mentioned above for Ga, Dha and Ni.
Minor songs are tough on mouth-organ. I’ve not seen a single hindi-songs player on the
internet playing minor scale as minor scale. They are either playing without knowledge of
knowing what it is, or just by hearing. Sometimes, depending on the raga in which the
song is based in, some minor scales can be transformed into a major scale.
By knowing this, one should be able to play any song if you are given the notation in
Indian (carnatic/Hindustani) or Western notes.
