I love the sarangi! And I love your music at the end credits of The Cube. After I saw the movie the music you played made it that much scarier. Just sent chills down my spine. (Good chills) Loved it.
Here are some responses: Yes, I'm using a concert bass bow. I'm using false harmonics to create that effect (by bowing close to the bridge). This is a very inexpensive sarangi....your typical Indian music shop one, bought in Toronto for around $500 Cdn. I think. I've since found an antique one which is far superior. Thanks for you comments!!
i wanna learn how to play one i braught one back from india to toronto now i wanna learn how to play it buh im looking for a place or sum1 who teaches with in the toronto region if you know sum1 please let me no
extraordinary playin... i was wondering, this is a bit of an odd question maybe that i dont realy know how to put rite but here goes...
i saw you do it many diferent times throughout the video but i think 00:23 (aroundabouts) is the best example probably. you kinda use your fingers to shake up and down to create that kind of shaking effect. i have not yet figured out how to do that n wud realy apreciate sum help if u cud tell me how to that wud b wonderful.
bout tuning, lol, its an essential. you need to learn how. easiest way, is, just, use a chromatic tuner. SA i believe should be a D. and then you can figure out the rest. i suggest you get a tanpura though.
wow! Quite a coincidence. I'm right now in Houston for 2 weeks. I live in NY but here to meet family. Any chance we can meet? I would really appreciate it. Let me know if you would have time... I have the untuned sarangi here with me now. Thanks! gmodalkey at yahoo in case you want to e-mail.
Hi, I've been playing about 7 yeaars, but played violin before. I'm mostly self taught, but have studied under a couple of masters. The video was done after I'd been playing about a year. Advice: You must find a teacher. Listen and analyze. Practice practice, practice!
Hi, thanks for your comment. I've heard it called the most difficult of East Indian instruments and I can see why. It's a real struggle to get a nice tone out of it, much more difficult than a violin, which is hard enough. I play a lot of different instruments and the sarangi is definitely the biggest challenge. Cheers, Mark
Hi, I'm the sarangi player......The sarangi was recorded live, but then I took the track and added a synth drone underneath it,and also a little reverb on the sarangi. Thanks for the nice comments! Cheers, Mark
Beautiful sounding. This one looks different. Are there different kinds of sarangis? And how did u sustain that sound so much? is it amplified? any effects?
Hi, this is a traditional classical sarangi (a very cheap one) There are countless variations of folk sarangis. I'm just using a video camera microphone to record. I think I may have added some reverb to it later....but I can't remember! Cheers, Mark

Hmmm. 0:17 seems to be in the higher octave? Can you explain please. Perhaps it was "screeching" from the Double Bass bow?

Hi,
Yes, it was bowing near the bridge, causing the string to move into the upper octave.
Thanks!
