The quality of a shruti box is determined primarily by two traits - sustain and tuning. By the first measure, even with several notes engaged, this box is phenomenal. It sustains long, even tones easily. And by the second measure, our custom tuning process ensures you'll get just what you need in terms of perfect tones and intervals calibrated however you choose.

With 36 notes stretching chromatically from C3 to B5, this rare shruti box is an amazing choice for experimental music, meditation, healing, or any other application. The possibilities are endless.

OUR TUNING PROCESS:

Our standard harmonium tuning process begins at our shop in India and ends at our U.S. location where a member of our staff - all highly trained and deeply experienced musicians - will finalize the set-up and tuning on every harmonium we sell. You won't find a more thorough refinement process anywhere.


Equal tuning - (Free): This service is recommended for anyone playing in traditional non-Western orientations or simply enjoying music independently and/or not playing in any groups. These instruments are nicely in tune to themselves, but not universally matched to any specific pitch reference. This is the typical approach taken in India.

Concert Pitch (A440 tuning) - Add $50: This is the best choice for most musicians, students, and those who play their instrument with others. A440 hz is the tuning standard for Western Instruments - piano, guitar, etc. Some refer to this as “Concert Pitch A440”. For this service, our expert musicians in the US will tune the instrument to correspond with the Concert Pitch standard.

Cosmic Pitch (A432 Tuning) - $100/Non-returnable:  For most customers, this service is neither practical nor recommended, but for those who are experimenting in this direction, we do offer the service on select models from our store. With this service, all reeds are drastically retuned nearly a quarter tone below standard Concert Pitch to match a middle A resonating at exactly 432 hz. While this service will not void any warranty with our store, it is not reversible. Therefore, any harmoniums or shruti boxes tuned to A432 will not be eligible for return or exchange.

An A432 hz referenced instrument will sound very out of tune when played alongside any traditionally tuned instrument. This means if you are taking a harmonium course, you will not be able to play this instrument alongside your instructor or classmates. Similarly, if you are using this instrument in a recording or performing context, you will not be able to use this unless every other instrument is also tuned to this pitch reference.

While much of India is rapidly advancing, the Indian instrument manufacturing process remains very old school. From touch ups to tuning, much of what we do at Old Delhi Music is add a layer of quality control to an otherwise non-standardized production process.

We wrote THIS ARTICLE to ensure customers understand and might appreciate this vintage production style, the unique products we carry, and how we're working to ensure genuine quality, despite the odds. It's a quick read, and definitely worthwhile for anyone considering the purchase of a traditional Indian instrument.

Thank you,
Old Delhi Music

I have purchased not only this high quality shruti box, but harmonium, Tanpura, and cymbals from Old Delhi Music. Every single product is of finest quality. Excellent tuning service provided as well for 432 hz primordial sound. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend. Trusted vendor I will use again and again. They are also environmentally conscious.

High quality Instrument!

Thank you for this incredible instrument.
The tuning is amazing!! and the quality of the construction is so great.
I really appreciate this instrument as a music artist and as a person using music therapeutically.
Monoj Kumar Sardar and Brothers make a great shruti box, beautiful as well as sturdy. I appreciate the construction of the base, which is solid and has metal attachments for balancing the instrument if you are going to use a foot pedal. The lining of the bellows on mine is purple leather and decorative gold board.
The 432 tuning was done perfectly by Old Delhi, as I checked the tuning measurements. Nic was very helpful and quick about shipping time. I have worked with a traditional shruti box with 12 reeds tuned in 5ths, so it is very exciting to now have the three octave chromatic to open up possibilities as a composer. Singing with drones my friends!!!
