The Tungana (Nepali: टुङ्ना)-Tunguna

Description

Introducing the Tungna, a plucked string instrument from Nepal, available now at Nepal Music Gallery. This beautiful instrument is made from a single piece of carved wood and features a front hollow body covered with stretched animal skin. The Tungna has four strings anchored to the keys and body at both ends, and the bridge acts as a cantilever, maintaining the tension of the strings.

Looking for a traditional Nepalese string instrument Sarangi ,that is beautifully crafted and perfect for any cultural event or music performance? Look no further than the White Medium Folk Sarangi from Nepal Music Gallery.

Made out of seasoned wood with a hand-carved design, this Sarangi is a short-necked fiddle that is perfect for playing traditional Nepali folk music. Unlike the classical Indian sarangi, which has many sympathetic strings that are not bowed, the Nepali Sarangi has only four strings that are all played.

This Sarangi is medium-sized, measuring 21 inches, and features a stunning yellow and brown color scheme. The skin is made of high-quality nylon, and the strings are also made of top-grade materials for the best sound possible.

The Sarangi is the national instrument of Nepal and has a rich history within the Gandarbha or Gaine community, who sing narrative tales and folk songs. However, in recent years, its popularity has extended beyond this community and is widely used in other music genres, such as Nepali rock and film music.

This Sarangi is handmade by a skilled Gandarbha artisan who has been making musical instruments for years, inheriting the art from his grandparents. The result is a finely crafted instrument with beautiful looks and perfect tuning that makes it a perfect musical instrument for both music and decoration.

So whether you’re a professional musician or just looking for a beautiful piece to display in your home or office, the White Medium Folk Sarangi from Nepal Music Gallery is a must-have item.
