Quick Overview
The Sarangi is one of the oldest popular traditional Nepali musical instruments. It consists of squat, truncated body with a sound board of goat skin. It has three main playing strings of heavy gut. These are the ones which are bowed. Because of its flexible tuning ability and its ability to produce a large palette of tonal colour and emotional nuance, Sarangi is revered for its uncanny capacity to imitate the timbre and inflections of the human voice as well as for the intensity of emotional expression to which it lends itself.
This classical Sarangi is made of single piece of special wood and carved beautiful image of Lord Buddha. It is approximately 22inches in length and 7 inches in width. It has three melody strings which are usually made of gut and around thirty-five metal sympathetic strings which provide a bright echo.
