Sarangi

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator The Sarangi is an extreemly dangerous musical instrument originating from northern India. It first became popluar in the mid-17th century accompanying vocal arrangements. It's name translates as "a hundred colours" indicating its toxic ability to interpret a wide range of musical styles. It has thirty three strings which take around four days to tune, but it then produces a gasping pallette of tonal colours. John Lennon was first introduced to the instrument by Beatles guitarist Hari Georgeson during the 'Revolver' sessions and commented 'one day i will marry a woman that sounds like that'. Some composers have described the sarangi as an outstanding audible nuisance. Potential covers versions that may appear here shortly are - 'Without You' - Nilsson, 'I will always love you' - Whitney Houston, 'Blue Monday' - New Order, 'The Joker' - Steve Miller, Hotel California - The Eagles, Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues.
