ABOUT SARANGI : The Indian classical music bowed stringed instrument Sarangi is used as an accompanied musical instrument for its unique tonal quality and its rare capacity for reproducing or imitating the vocal ornaments the gamak (shakes) and meends (sliding movements) so the sound of Sarangi resembels most to the sound of the human voice, it is said that Sarangi music is vocal music and the Sarangi players sing with their fingers. Sarangi players almost always know the words of many classical vocal compositions. The Kirana Gharana and Patiala Gharana with rich vocal traditions owe their heritage mainly to Sarangi playing and a large number of the most famous male Hindustani classical singers - vocalists in India have come from traditional Sarangi families or have been Sarangi players themselves including Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Rajan and Sajan Mishra, Fayaz Ahmed Khan, Abdul Wahid Khan, Amir Khan and Abdul Karim Khan. Sarangi is believed to be originated from a folk musical instrument of north-western India, called Surinda / Chikara. There are a great variety of Sarangi common in India, all the instruments belong to this family. Sarangi have been one of the most popular North Indian musical instruments during the nineteenth century. In the present era Sarangi is still most commonly used for Vocal accompany and it has also established itself as a solo instrument of North Indian Classical music due to the efforts of Sarangi player Pt. Ram Narayan who introduced a variation to the fingering technique of playing Sarangi.
