Description
A traditional hand-carved wooden Sarangi from Nepal, a folk string instrument deeply rooted in Nepalese and Himalayan musical traditions. This finely crafted piece features an intricately carved wooden body with detailed patterns and an elaborate depiction of an elephant on the back. The resonator is covered with natural skin, and the strings are tensioned with wooden tuning pegs. A label marked "Made in Nepal" confirms its origin. The Sarangi is known for its unique, expressive sound and is traditionally played with a bow, often used in storytelling and folk music performances.
