0 itemsM1 Shruti Box
Small, portable and robust, the M1 Shruti Box sets the standard for sound quality, craftsmanship and ease of use. It has taken us several years working with one of India's finest instrument makers to develop and refine the M1 to the instrument it is today. This is why it is popular with singers and musicians worldwide who want a professional quality instrument they can depend on and importantly self-maintain.
The instrument is hand-made using materials chosen for their acoustic qualities. The body is pine wood which produces a soft warm tone, and the reedboard is made from solid teak which is a harder wood and produces the tonal clarity. The high grade metal reeds are bronze and brass. Two different tunings are available: C and Low G – each with a one octave chromatic scale based on A440 concert pitch. The instrument comes with a neat laptop style shoulder bag in charcoal grey. Dimensions: 38 x 25 x 6.5 cm. Weight: 3.5kg.
M1 C: Has a one octave range of thirteen notes (from C3 to C4 on the piano). Features brass reeds for a full and rounded tone with subtle harmonics (often described by users as a sweet and warm sound). The M1 C is higher in pitch than the Low G.
