This rare and beautifully aged Nepali Sarangi is a traditional Himalayan folk instrument, entirely hand-carved from a single piece of wood with rich patina and detailed engravings. With its original tuning pegs, worn natural skin resonator, and aged strings, this piece carries the unmistakable aura of age, craftsmanship, and cultural depth.
Sarangi instruments like this were used in Nepali and Indian folk music, especially by wandering Gandharvas (bard communities), to accompany ballads and storytelling. Its petite size and fine details suggest it was either made for travel or as a ceremonial or teaching piece.
