The Sarangi is an important bowed string instrument of North Indian classical music tradition. Carved from a single block of wood, the Sarangi has a box-like shape, usually around two feet long and around half a foot wide. The lower resonance chamber is hollowed out and covered with parchment and a decorated strip of leather at the waist which supports the elephant-shaped bridge. The bridge in turn supports the huge pressure of approximately 30 to 40 strings.
It has three or four main playing strings of heavy gut. These are the ones which are bowed. It also has an addition metal sympathetic strings, which give the instrument it’s characteristic sound. The instrument has no frets or fingerboard; the strings float in the air. Pitch is determined by sliding the fingernail against the string rather than pressing it against a fingerboard (like violin).
Sindhi Sarangi is also called a ‘Sing’ and is a particular type of stringed instrument that is common in the regions of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The Sindhi Sarangi was originally created to accompany the vocals of a singer as the instrument could precisely imitate the gradations of the human voice.
A horsehair bow presses on the bowed strings while the left-hand cuticles of the player shorten the vibrating length of the strings on the fretless fingerboard during the playing of the Sindhi Sarangi. Sindhi, Muslim and Jogi communities of Rajasthan use the instrument for singing Sufi Kalaams. At times it also used to provide the music for the Kalbeliya dance performances.
The Sarangi, when played by a master, is capable of closely imitating the nuances of the human voice.
