It is very difficult to get a good sarangi fresh or old ones. However older sarangis which are much played are better - irrespective of their repaired look. It is said that more it is played, more the wooden channels are opened. This adds to the tone of the instrument. Fresh sarangis are no better than furniture to work only as a show piece

Wow, I love Ram Narayan Ji’s beautiful sarangi pieces; everyone is a masterpiece… I have so many questions regarding sarangi’s…
1. where in India can i buy them?
2. are they better in Pakistan as I am willing to go there to purchase one as well… I would like one of the highest quality and would like to know where to buy it from…
3. and would there be any learning material available for me, such as books, cd’s etc.?
Thanks for all your help… this is a wonderful site.
