I have never seen a sarangi player go that high on the instrument..pandiji simply leaves me speechless regardin his mastery over the most difficult instrument in ICM
Dear PetersDad: You should try the Bansuri. I did it 20 years ago after playing the violin for 3 decades. The bansuri is more HEART related perhaps because of the breath connection. And it is so intoxicating even at the amateur levels that I am able to play. Your instruments all sound wonderful!!! The word Vaadya comes from the root Vad, which means to speak. So, when we play a vaadya, we are manifesting Vaak-the Goddess of speech. In India, music is Naadaatmika Vaak. Naada being sound.
@dkmkartha Thank you for leading me to the Bansuri. I will look into purchasing one of these instruments. I do not have a lot of money but I will save for it.
I have found music to be the heart of life. To play everyday is to bring joyfullness and understanding of other cultures into my life.
@PeterDad60 I hope you are starting with a short Bansuri. That is the proper way to go because if you start with a long one the fingers will have to stretch too much causing nerve pain that is hard to cure. It took me 2 years before I could play a Bansuri with middle C as the lowest note. Then it took 5 years to move to a low B (in the indian notation BB) and now after 20 years I can play an AA bansuri which has D as the tonic. A slow transition has taken a lot of patience. Good luck.
@PeterDad60 u can get best bansuri from anand dhotre in bombay. his dad was taught flute making by pt pannalal ghosh.for 10$ ul get a nice one.buy thinner g or b sharp.
I have been playing Sarangi now for 1 year. This video is my inspiration and is what made me decide to play Sarangi. Ram Narayan is such a sensitive and true artist. Alaiya Bilawal is perfection. Perhaps I will be able to find his complete version of this music and learn all of it. - Peter from America
Hello I just accidently made a comment using my son's u-tube account name badmmon610. I have just created my own account and my name is PeterDad60. I am the Sarangi player not my son. _Peter from America.
It is wonderful that you are learning a news instrument. I am learning the Sarod and I am sixty years old. I believe in Socrates's dictum that one new instrument (and a new language) every 10 years will add 10 years to your longevity. Yes, this clip is so inspiring and the artist incomparable! Good luck with your Vaadya Saadhna!
@dkmkartha Hello, I am enjoying several stringed instruments along with my Vaadra Saadhna. Among them is also the Sarod, like you I enjoy this instrument. I have played Itialian violin for many hears and now I am playing the Chinese erhu as well. I also play the Pakustan Oud and Afgan Rabab. Music is much of my life. I like you am 60 years old. Peace for our earth!
is there any difference between a little sarangi (also known as the saranga) n the big one lyk the one pundit ji has in this video?? id lyk to no... thanx
how on earth is it possible to play like this.. as if he can play this sarangi without eyes, just putting the emotions on the instrument and it plays itself... one and only pandit Narayan ji.....
Once again Pandit Ji proves he is the most amazing and inspirational Sarangi player of our time! Though it's funny how the camera men try to chase Pandit Ji's hand - its virtually impossible! Great video!

The beautiful Sarangi, the name derives from Sau Rangi meaning 100 colors and Ram Narayan is good at painting a picture with those many colors.
