The Sarod is a beautiful stringed instrument of the lute family common to the Indian classical music traditions of the north region. Along with the Sitar, the Sarod is an extremely popular instrument and is highly recognized for its deep, weighty sound. It’s reverberant quality makes the Sarod a mystical instrument that can instantly give any track a luscious, mysterious vibe. Future Loops presents Sarod Loops from the highly praised Total India collection (recorded in Chennai, Calcutta and Mumbai) with over 250 enchanting Sarod samples. Total India is a massive collection available only as a boxed 4-DVD set, but now and after much demand from our users you can download the Sarod loops and one-shots as a separate pack. If you already own Total India please note that the sarod content is the same.

Bizarre Sitar Samples v3.0

P2P | 26 December 2020 | 1.51 GB

Bizarre Sitar may not seem so strange at first glance. It has most of the elements found on any other sitar, with it’s traditional gourd body, both main playable strings and sympathetic resonating strings, parda (adjustable curved frets), kunti (tuning pegs), dandi (neck), ghoraj (main bridge) all complete with orante hand-painted accents. At just over 24″ in length, however, this little beauty is barely half the size of a standard sitar. Simply being small isn’t bizarre by any means, but what is bizarre is how it can achieve such a lush, full-bodied sound while being so small. Intended as more decoration than instrument, we feel this little guy has been highly underestimated. Although soft-spoken and possessing fewer strings than normal (5 main and 6 sympathetic), all this “baby” sitar needed was someone to listen closely. And we did. Very close.
