More sympathetics means the instrument rings on after the bow leaves the string, and it also means tuning is a serious undertaking rather than a quick job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in India by Manuji\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Tun Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Gut Strings (Playing Strings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Main Steel String (Drone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35 Sympathetic Strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTasteful Celluloid Inlay Work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade, Camel Bone Bridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Color Sarangi Length: 28 in Weight: 3 to 5 kg (As this is a handmade instrument, sizes may fluctuate upto 2 cms.); Bow; Extra Set of Strings; Rosin; Optional Extras: Extra Set of Strings, Padded Gig Bag, Extra Rosin; TUNING DETAILS; The tonic Sa is between c and d - similar to most sitars.

High Ga - e'; For the upper sympathetic strings right and left: You can select the tuning of these strings freely. It usually conforms to the notes that are to be stressed. The tuning of these strings can be handled relatively freely -- depending on which sounds are to be emphasised. The tonal range, however, is mostly between Sa and Pa since all strings have the same length and thickness.; TUNING VIDEOS; Here are two videos that will help you understand the tuning of a Sarangi in a much better way: Part 1:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMade by us, in our own workshop near Delhi.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the packing as soon as it arrives so the instrument can air and settle into tune.
