Swar Mandal, Deluxe w/ Case
This is an instrument that is sometimes used by singers, as a sort of sympathetic strings resonator, like a harp. They'll strum and pluck sections of it to reinforce lines they sing. It is also played as a hammered dulcimer Indian style. It is used in many traditional Hindu and Muslim rituals, and is a traditional instrument. The Swara (notes) and Mandal (group) represent its ability to produce a large number of notes. It has been used for many generations, dating back to the pre-Moghul era; though still used today; its use is not as widespread.

Note: Whether you purchase an instrument on-line or from a physical store locally, it is recommended that you change the strings on your new instrument as soon as you receive it. The strings of an instrument both in a store or shipped to you are exposed to air and different environments prior to you receiving it. During this time the strings WILL oxidize, decreasing it's life expectancy and reducing the quality of it's sound. On occasion instruments may even arrive with a broken string, therefore, it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings as soon as it arrives. Learning to change strings should be the first lesson learned when embarking on the journey of playing a new instrument.
