The Sarangi is a traditional string instrument from India, known for its rich, emotive sound. It typically has three main strings, which are played with a bow, and numerous sympathetic strings that resonate to enhance its tonal quality. The instrument is often used in classical music, particularly in the genres of Hindustani classical music and folk music. Crafted from wood, the Sarangi has a unique shape resembling a small violin, but it is played in a distinct manner. Musicians use their fingers to press the strings while bowing, allowing for intricate melodies and expressive nuances. The Sarangi is also associated with the performance of ghazals and devotional music, showcasing its versatility in various musical traditions.
