Description

Sarangi is the national instrument of Nepal, and it is mostly made out of a single piece of wood. The Sarangi is a folk Nepalese string instrument. Unlike the classical Indian sarangi which has many sympathetic strings which are not bowed, the Nepali has only four strings, all of which are played. This Sarangi is Medium type made with wood material.

Sarangi Musical Instrument: The Nepali Sarangi is a Nepali folk instrument. It is a chordophone played by bowing. Traditionally in Nepal, the Sarangi was only played by people of Gandarbha or Gaine in local terms (both contested and interchangeable terms), who sing narrative tales and folk song, however; in present days, its popularity extends beyond the Gandarbha community and is widely used and played by other cast members as well. It has also garnered much interest in other music genres, such as Nepali rock and film music. While the Sarangi has become the quintessential Gandarbha instrument, while its counterpart, the arbajo, which is a plucked lute, has fallen into obscurity.
