OCTAfan's Obscure and Weird Musical Instruments Tournament Round 1 Part 8: Sarangi VS Koto

Coming from South Asia, the Sarangi is a bowed string instrument that has a short neck and sounds similar to the human voice.

The Koto is a Japanese instrument that's certainly unique looking. It's a stringed instrument that is played by plucking the strings with fingerpicks. It's also the national instrument of Japan.

What's the Weirder Instrument?

Ram Narayan - Berkeley Little Theater, Berkeley, California, July 27, 1968

Human music for inhuman times -- a concert of Indian classical music from sarangi master Ram Narayan, recorded in Berkeley almost 50 years ago. Hey! Why not go donate to the RAICES Family Reunification Bond Fund RIGHT NOW? The USA keeps finding news to majorly fuck up, but maybe that will help unfuck things ever so slightly.

Today is Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day, a day to honor lesser-known musical implements. To celebrate, let’s all bring our attention to the sarangi, a string instrument common in North Indian classical music (Hindustani music). Known for a sound that resembles the human voice, the sarangi has up to 40 strings and is incredibly difficult to master. This sarangi  dates to the 1890s.

the language of music is perhaps the most profound, makes you find a quiet corner and manifest it in solemn lines. - What's your favorite instrument ?- - #music#sarangi#love#instadaily#instacomics#comics#stories#instastories#fables#future#cosmic#yogic#poet#abhiart#storyteller#abhisheksingh#comicbooks#sketches#instaartistic
