TARANG offers a smaller and a larger Shrutibox model by the manufacturer Monoj Kumar Sardar. Both have a tonal range of 13 chromatic semitones from C to c each, which can be opened separately and thus can be combined in whatever way you like. The larger bellows volume of the bigger version provides a very stable sonorous sound. Thus the sound will be very consistent even when the bellows movements are irregular and it will go on resonating for a while on its own after the bellows movements have stopped. A stable sound is also achieved by slow and even pumping when several valves are open. The frame of both models is made of solid wood whereas the bellows wings are made of laminated wood.

If you want to use the Shrutibox together with western instruments that have a fixed tuning which cannot be adjusted to the slightly higher tuned Shrutibox, please let us know when ordering and inform us of the exact tuning pitch you require. The Shrutibox is often not tuned to the western standard tuning pitch A with 440 Hertz, but a little higher, to 442 Hertz. The difference can in some cases also be somewhat bigger either up or down. When the instrument is being played together with other instruments, some problems might arise.
