The sarangi is a folk Nepalese string instrument. Traditional Nepali
sarangi are made up of a single piece of wood having a neck and
hollowed-out double-chambered body; they are often made from a very
light wood called khiro. The lower opening is then covered up with dried
sheep-skin upon which the bridge rests, while the upper chamber is left
open. The neck is fretless, and the strings are tuned with the kunti.
The original strings were made out of sheep intestine, similar to the
use of catgut (made from the intestines of cattle) in violins. The
village people allotted intestines of sheep, sacrificed during major
festivals like Dasain, to the Gandarvas. The Gandarvas left the
intestine in a pot for some days. Once the meat was fully rotten, it was
pulled out, leaving behind the fine nerves of the intestine which were
then woven to get the strings, which produced fine quality sound.[4]
However these days, readily available nylon and steel strings have
generally replaced gut strings.
