A shruti box is a small wooden 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 also used as an accompaniment to other instruments, notably the flute. The lower notes of the Male Shruti Box are usually meant to accompany instrumentals or low vocals.
This shruti box is constructed with 12 brass reeds and 12 adjustable side mounted controls, combinations of which produce hundreds of sounds via its integral bellows.
The approximate overall measurements of the instrument are: 14" L x 9" W x 4" D.
Blemishes in the finish may occur during the two month journey from the manufacturer to the US. They are unavoidable and do not affect the sound or playability. Finish color and decoration style may vary from the photo due to the handmade nature of its construction.
