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 in 440, great for most vocal ranges.
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. Not to mention, it's a lot smaller to carry around....a super portable Harmonium style instrument for any setting!
Each Shruti Boxes comes with a well padded protective carrying case.
