Basic Shruti Box

The Shruti Box is a hand-pumped reed instrument used to provide droning chords and notes. It is a wonderful sound to accompany the voice, flute, or other melodic instrument.  The fixed, droning nature of the Shruti Box is perfect for tuning the voice or for exploring the notes in a given key scale. Shruti boxes are available in the standard C3 to C4 chromatic scale or the lower G3-G4, with a choice between 440 or 432. Each one is handcrafted and fine-tuned by skilled makers with decades of honing their craft in Kolkata, India!   The exterior is made of wood, with paperboard bellows and reeds allowing the sound to be pumped through the chambers of the box. It is similar to the harmonium in its overall sound and uses, but much simpler to operate and less moving parts to maintain.  Each Shruti Boxes comes with a padded protective carrying case.
