big thanks about letting the wind out of the system controlled.

You’re welcome. BTW - tho I am retired now, I am still importing and selling shruti boxes that are well tuned and set up.

Most welcome!

Question! what size is that shruti box, and does every shruti box have the bellows opening in front and back? I noticed yours was only in the back, but is the front your choice to open but you kept it closed? Thanks!

[@TheDjinnFizz]

I am retired now. Can't say what the size is, but the dimensions are very standard. All shrutis boxes have two bellows. You just don't see it in the video.

THANK YOU!!!

[@donaldpersaud8901]

Thanks much

[@voytsmis]

thank You..please tell me I play handpans in scales B minor, D minor, D major, C# etc...can I use one shruti to all of them - I mean can I change/set ONE shruti to fit few scales?

[@TheDjinnFizz]

You can make various combinations. For some chords you may have to use only two drones to make the desired key.

[@voytsmis]

@@TheDjinnFizz Thank YOU so much for answering...so I can buy shruti in C...2 octaves model. Will it be ok for my handpans, RAV VASTS in B minor D minor C#, D major etc ..? One shruti?

[@TheDjinnFizz]

@@voytsmis I don't have much experience with two octave models. I would think they have too many ports making for too much potential for air-leakage, which is the big issue with shruti boxes.

[@songtreemusicandwellness]

Do you have any recommendation for Shruti boxes?

[@TheDjinnFizz]

Tho I am retired, I still have a few shruti boxes in stock that are for sale. If you are interested in buying one you can go to my personal Facebook page "Christian X. Hunter: and you can PM me your email address and I can hook you up for a shruti box,

Someone told me that 432 hz Shruti can give me problems of tuning in the future. Is that true?

[@TheDjinnFizz]

Yes! Don't buy 432hz
