Nice for practicing of performing certain kinds of world music.

Filam 20.12.2020

First of all i have to say I don't use the Shruti Box for Indian music. I use it for accompanying "a cappella" traditional air-like European songs.

Beautiful sound for the low notes (C-F?). After a bit of practising with pumping it is able to give a nice continuous drone.

The higher the notes you use, the more they start lacking body and sound more shrill. You probably won't use the higher notes for solo performances. I haven't been able to compare this tone to more expensive Shruti boxes. Maybe this it inherent to the way these traditional instruments are designed and built.

Tuning seems OK to me (though I haven't measured it). It is possible to open more than one note at the same time (to add a 5th or a 3rd...).

The first Shruti Box that was shipped had one note that did not work. It was replaced immediately by Thomann.

Conclusion: as most of the songs I practise need drones around the low D it suits my needs very well and I am happy with it!

Nice traditional instrument!

Asterios 03.12.2018

I like folk and traditional instruments (I have bought many from Thomann!) I've bought this Indian Shruti box to use it as a sound effect when playing music live, for vocal training and for meditation purposes! You can use it to play single notes or chords (13 chromatic keys from c to c')
The sound production (air) reminds a very simple accordion!
Let's see some pros & cons!
Pros:
*Nice note sustain (useful for drone-pads!)
*It comes with a metal handle (better than the plastic one that was used on previous model!)
* Comes with a bag!

Cons:
*It's not so responsive always! Sometimes, some keys, don't have fast response and you have to wait some seconds to hear the sound (that's why I put 4/5 stars!)
* A footswitch option (pumping air) could be useful, so you can play the Shruti Box, alone, along with guitar or another instrument!

All in all, a nice Indian traditional instrument from Thomann!

Great Shruti box for sound healing

Davecwmraeg 15.11.2023

I bought this Shruti box for sound healing with clients on a one to one basis.
It’s easy to use , produces great sound quality and goes down well with clients.
I can set it for harmonising notes to replenish depleted energy, or dissident notes for releasing excess energy.
I also overlay it with my voice to add to the effect.
I’ve used the shruti bow in a group setting as well. to good effect.
I’m very pleased with it.

Very nice drone.
One complete octave that allows to be played with different instruments with different scales.
Sometimes, if played with more than one note or a complete chord, it needs more pressure to the sound be eared perfectly.
