The Nagaswaram has seven finger-holes. There are five additional holes drilled at the bottom which are used as controllers. The Nagaswaram has a range of two and a half octaves like the flute. The system of fingering is similar to that of the flute. But unlike the flute where semi and quarter tones are produced by the partial opening and closing of the finger holes in the Nagaswaram they are produced by adjusting the pressure and strength of the air-flow into the pipe. Hence it is a very exacting instrument. Also due to its intense volume and strength it is basically an outdoor instrument and much more suited for open spaces than for closed indoor concert situations. Comes with 5 spare reeds 1 ivory needle or horn attached as well as a carrying bag. Length may vary between 34" to 35". There is approxamately 1" between each finger hole.Height: 40Width: 0Weight: 41 Minimize

Harmonium Standard Natural. 4 drones (top pulls) and 4 stops (lower pulls) to direct the air over the upper or lower reeds. Fixed keyboard integral bellows and dozens of sound combinations. Finish color and decoration style may vary from photo. The Harmoniums are not meant to be played in concert like a mini organ. The reeds in the harmonium are tuned to sound well together not necessarily with other instruments. As such they are not in concert pitch and are not meat to be. Harmonium tuning does not reflect the Western Scale and is not meant to. This is instrument was introduced to India by the British. It has been embraced and is now a truly Indian instrument used as accompaniment in devotional songs. As with many Indian instruments the key for the music is selected to best suite the vocals or to set a mood. Traditionally Harmoniums are usually higher pitched if compared to the Western Scale. DISCLAIMER: Shellac is very impressionable no pun intended. During the long transportation from India the shellac finish becomes marred by the packing materials. These impressions are superficial and cosmetic. Impressions on the finish do not affect the playability or sound.Height: 28Width: 0Weight: 49 Minimize

These cymbals are vibrant trashy and beautiful... all at once. 'Tone Texture' gives these cymbals a great deal of dark musical color that encompasses the full tonal spectrum but digs way down deep for a broader more complex tonal personality. The Legacy Ride has great articulation over a dark cushion of sound... . The 'tone texture' of these cymbals makes Legacy a compelling consideration for any drummer looking for sounds that offer a new richness to their playing.

Our Balalaika Prima has the traditional 3 strings and measu ... Read more

Our Balalaika Prima has the traditional 3 strings and measures approximately 27 inches in length. The scale length is 430 mm. The body has the classical triangular shape. The back is slightly bowed and made with stave construction in two tones of rosewood. The darker back contrasts with the light colored wood of the soundboard. The Balalaika strings are tuned above middle C to: A E E (1st-3rd). The 1st string is the thinnest and lays over more frets than the 2nd & 3rd strings. Use a piano or electronic tuner as a reference for tuning. The tension on each tuning peg can be adjusted by tightening or loosing the screw on the top of the peg. To play the left hand notes the strings while the index finger of the right hand strums high on the soundboard near the neck. The dark rosewood on the soundboard is decorative but also protects the soundboard from the strumming. The Balalaika most likely evolved from the Oriental dombra which is still played in present-day Kazakhstan. Knowledge of the dombra most likely spread to Russia by Mongol trade and conquest. After undergoing structural changes the Balalaika was embraced by Russians. It is said that the Balalaika embodies the Russian people's character with its ability to switch from happiness to sadness with ease. It was common for the peasant ballads composed for the Balalaika to irreverently poke fun at the authority of the times. For this reason there were times when the Balalaika was banned by both the Orthodox Church and the State. The instrument enjoyed its greatest folk popularity in the early 18th century. In the later 19th century the instrument underwent a number of changes including the adoption of the classic triangular shape. Reportedly in the late 19th century Vassily Vassilievich Andreyev was responsible for the transition from a folk instrument to a concert instrument. Andreyev's chamber ensemble renamed The Great Russian Imperial Balalaika Orchestra introduced the instrument to cultures outside of Russia. The Instrument was also carried by the common people when they fled Russia at times of war. SPECIAL NOTE: No Warranty on Strings: Manufacturers recommend that you change the strings on your instrument as soon as you receive it. Your instrument has completed a long journey before it ever begins the final leg to your home. During this time the elements affect the strings and may shorten their lifespan. It occasionally happens that a string will fail during that final leg of the journey. Therefore it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings soon after it arrives. If you are a student you may want to change your strings every 3-4 months. If you are a rock star you may need to change your strings every week. If you store your instrument you should consider changing the strings when you pick it up again.Height: 22Width: 0Weight: 34 Minimize
