@AMAR420420 it must have magically appeared in rajasthan right? i think most people believe that saranda and rajasthan sarangi etc etc came from kobyz , ravanaastha etc etc so why should i believe that "Nepali Sarangi" comes form rajasthan when those themselves come from somewhere else. Maybe nepali sarangi is modifcation of kobyz or similar instrument, which found its way through tibet and later it found its way into india and then became the indian sarangi(with those sympathetic strings).

sarangi comes from rajasthan not nepal

It seems to be easier to play than a standard violin

Thank you, debeshbhattarai, for informing me about this instrument. The sound reminds me of rural American fiddle music.

Supposedly out of all instruments this one resembles the closest to the human voice. Listening to it, I don't disagree.

Beautiful music, thanks for posting.
It is an sarangi. The Nepalese version looks and performs different in the same way the Spanish guitar looks and performs different than the Portuguese guitar or guitars from other parts of the world.
Also, it is like how "tabla" refers to the set of two drums that is common in music from the Indian subcontinent as well as the doumbek/goblet drum that is common in the middle east and northern Africa.

No comment about the video. All this stupid argument about nepal and bharat. Like fleas arguing about who owns the dog. Who cares, music knows no frontiers. Some of your sarangi tunes would not sound strange to an Irish fiddler. While I'm writing this I'm listening to Bhiyo Timro so don't think I'm entirely ignorant about Nepali music. Oh and by the way I dig Navin Bhattarai. Namaste dhaju bhai
