Description: A shruti box is an instrument that traditionally works on a system of bellows. It is similar to a harmonium and is used to provide a drone in a practice session or concert of Indian classical music. It is used as an accompaniment to other instruments and notably the flute. The shruti box is also used in classical singing. In classical singing the shruti box is used to help tune the voice. The use of the shruti box has widened with the cross-cultural influences of world music and new-age music to provide a drone for many other instruments as well as vocalists. 13 chromatic semitones from: "C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C" which can be opened separately and thus can be combined in whatever way you like.TUNING DETAILSWe would especially like to mention about the long sustain provided by this Shruti Box. The sound of this Shruti Box will be very consistent and sonorous even when the bellow movements are not very regular and it will keep producing a consistent warm sound for quite some time even after the bellow movement has stopped.The Shruti Box is very easy to play. All you have to do is:a) release the both - front and back - bellowsb) turn the white covers sideways, to play single drone or by combining manyc) continuously pump the bellow which is opening out from top with a single handThat's it! If you follow the above steps, you Shruti Box will start resonating with warm notes selected by you. Volume can be controlled by the pumping speed.This Shruti Box is sold with C3 to C4 tuning. However, you can also order a Shruti Box from A#2 to A#3 or a Shruti Box from G2 to G3. The chromatic scale is based on A440 concert pitch. The Shruti Box comes with a snug-fit laptop style shoulder bag.PACKAGE CONTAINSNatural Color Shruti BoxShoulder Carry BagLength: 12 x 9 x 3 InchesWeight 2.5 KG approxLength: 15 x 10 x 3 InchesWeight 3 KG approxLength: 16 x 12 x 3 InchesWeight 3.5 KG approx NOTE: CUSTOM TAXES NOT INCLUDED.
