Dhruba Ghosh demonstrates the sarangi 

Could you suggest someone alike around NCR area. Warm Regards

Missing him every day. Though he is still alive through his music. But missing his sweet smile...

@@royalsingh there is no someone alike...

Stephanie Bosch ..have slowly started to realise that. Such a brilliant and humble human. Warm Regards

@@royalsingh yes such a big loss in every aspect..

For me it’s a tie between the Sarangi and the Veena

@@princecharmingthemerman Sarangi and Santoor

@@sumchi3690 its name is shata tantari veena please dont call it santoor or else credit would go not to an indian but persian instrument

Jason Madore how's it human voice ? I don't get it .

@@vra4432 because you're dumb

Supratim das can you please explain how's​ it human voice ?

@@vra4432 Don't you hear it?!? It sounds like a human voice.

No dude... That would be the kora.

David :D Dear god, imagine a duet between a sarangi and erhu....would be stunningly beautiful

Add the kora

more like, Instrument of a 1000 strings lol

***** Interesting, there's something about this that makes me think of it like the South Asian equivalent of the oud. Something to do with the microtonic intervals and the free rhythm.

mong morg not thousand ....... 35

Indeed

I think the instrument in the Beatles song was a Dilruba

@@gsingh225 Oui mais ne lui dis pas!

@@nicolecostes4043 looool

Don't forget Howard Shore too. It is officially confirmed he used the sarangi in the Lothlorien theme.

Who passed away?

He's still alive!

@@mahimakammar5852 lol...not physically of course.

Keep it up and enjoy playing this beautiful Instrument.

@@ericbana191 thank you :)

@Rogin thank you

I started playing 7 years ago after watching this demonstration. I found a guru online. I do riyaaz everyday!

Playing with the up part of your finger close to the nails seems very hurtful - is it the case or it doesn't hurt your fingers/nails at all?

@@pedromimo1952I make contact on the string just above the nail on the skin. At first it can be a bit uncomfortable. After a while of regular practice the skin will thicken and it will get easier to play. That is my preferred method. Of course others may find different methods more useful.

@@pedromimo1952 I used to play on the skin, and it was painful, but now i play ơn the nail, the upper portion of it.

very eloquent as well....some of these guys are very arrogant, he seems calm and instructive

It can produce the happiest moments also.

i have rarely seen sarangi produce happy sound.. Can you please provide few links.

It's got to be one of the most expressive instruments around. Why couldn't it be happy?

Yep in Swades.

bollywood is degenerate garbage

Lol

Taru Thakur Leave them, they r aliens...

Obviously Kryptonians. They couldn't digest the fact that bat kicked one of their's ass... 😂😂😂🙏

Some people dislike anything because they think that makes them cool.

Maybe someone doing headstand I guess...

+Carl Carlson It's called Shiva Namaha by Rick something. Sadly that version is mixed with other instrument that and vocals that completely ruins the spiritual aspect of the sharangi alone.

It's a Raag/Raga rendition. It's Raag Pilu. There are no songs in this form of Hindustani Classical Music, which is known as Khyal, wherein everything is improvisation subject to a Raag and a specific rhythm cycle if beats are present. Song based art-forms are Ghazal, Thumri etc but they too contain a significant degree of improvisation. Cheers!

Raag Pilu. Listen to the song "Piya bholo abhiman"

+Dimitri Bitu ...yeah....but he doesnt talk like an emasculated gamma-male fruitcake from Portland, so I'm pretty its not Armisen.

Rick Deckard I wans't saying he was actually Fred Armisen, duh!

LMAO! I was thinking that the whole time I was watching this!

Rabab is not like a violin, it's a plucked instrument. Dilruba is like a taus (but smaller than a taus) with a longer neck and frets -- very different sound.

Try play bassoon in 4th grade LOL

Sadod is harder

Yes, the multiple groups of sympathetic strings is also what provides its characteristic sound. The profound resonance and sheer presence of the sarangi is very impressive given its size.

You mean on the lowest/bass? Possibly the G, considering C is going to be too low. Unfortunately I couldn't find any source where he explicitly gave this information. At least to my amateur ears, it's a good chance it's G. Sarangi is used to convey mostly melancholy and romantic tunes and passages, but as we can see it's quite versatile. But I've never heard it "drone" like a cello.

Quite a bit of a time now and prob you might not even see this comment but still - practise is the go to advise/suggestion. Yes it may be more complex than other plucked or fretted string instruments, but once you learn the basics, it just brings so much joy, happiness and a feeling of richness. All the best.

+satellite964 What? xD Are you serious?

Raag Pilu

Sir, I am not a sarangi player, but if I understand your question, I think what you're asking is relevant to all fretless stringed instruments. Including violin, bass and many others including the Indian sarod. Stringed instruments can be divided into two general classes: fretted where the divisions are marked, or fretless where they are not marked. Playing fretless instruments is really challenging because the musician has to find the notes that he wants to play without a marker in place. It's just something I guess that becomes possible through years of training. The benefit of playing fretless instruments, particularly in our Indian raga system, is that one can more easily explore the tones that are present between the notes (known as shruti, or micro-tones) which is an essential component of raga exposition.
