- Tuning Details
- We 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 - bellows
- b) turn the white covers sideways, to play single drone or by combining many
- c) continuously pump the bellow which is opening out from top with a single hand
- Thats 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

In the box: Espresso Color Shruti Box, Shoulder Carry Bag.
Made for us by craftsmen near Delhi, then finished and tuned in our own workshop before it ships.
Open the packing as soon as it arrives so the instrument can air and settle into tune. Keep it away from direct heat and damp, and work the bellows gently for the first few days.
