Espresso Shruti Box!!

Posted by Sonja M. from Kingston, Ontario on 1st May 2021

Ordering from Kala Kendar was one of the easiest online shopping experiences I’ve ever had. Not only was the checkout easy and straight forward, but I was able to contact Mickey at the store in Toronto multiple tones over both email and phone to talk about which instrument would be best for me. He was able to hear what my intention is for using this instrument and make recommendations. This shruti box is perfect for me, and has an excellent sound. It’s warm and has a wide dynamic range that is easily controlled and manipulated. The bag is sturdy and will travel well. I love my instrument.

New baby, Gauri

Hi, Mickey! Just letting you know my shruti arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Thanks for all your support. Really enjoying the shruti, though - she sounds lovely, and I am learning how to drive her. Called her Gauri after the gold fabric on the bellows. Namaste, Kristi

Wonderful instrument and store

Posted by Devin from Ottawa on 1st Jul 2018

I had trouble deciding between the different shrutibox models, but chose the model S because of its warm tone and subtle overtones. I'm afraid I didn't get the name of the technician who helped me, but he was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. A very satisfying experience all around.

I bought my Shruti box one week ago and could not be happier. It has a beautiful warm drone sound. I was welcomed by " Mickey" who was very knowledgeable and helpful to me. Wonderful experience all around.

Dear Sundeep Thank you for your interest. The Shruti arrived really quickly and very well packed. There are a couple of small marks on the wood that we did not see in the picture - but they do not detract from the soun quality. We love it !!! We are Bio Sonic Therapists [ Sound Healers ] and use the Shruti [ amongst many other things ] to help people rebalance and heal their own being, throug personal treatmet and workshops. We look forward to doing buisness with you again - and when we visit our friends in Toronto will will drop by. Have a great day Blessings
