Anantar translates as “Infinite Strings” and relates the fact of a large number of strings. The front side has four strings of the Indian Tambura as well as 8 strings tuned to a pentatonic raga scale inspired by the Japanese Koto. This tuning can be altered to find the exact scale you would like. A wonderful instrument that is easy to use, play, and create melodies with.

 

The video below is the double sided monochord, which we also stock, but the only difference is this version is single sided without the monochord.

Infinite Strings, infinite explorations

An exquisite work of art, the Svaram Double Sided Monochord. It took time for me to understand how to tune it because I am not a trained musician, but once I had that set up with a tuner and realized I can move the bridges slightly for any needed fine daily tuning, there is no end to enjoying this. Pure intuitive flow. I practice each morning and record the improv for 5-10 minutes, then play back the growing audio files while I go about my day, or to rest in the evening. Lovely instrument!
