Organology

The science of musical instruments, their evolution, materials and form, structure and principles common across all cultures and in varied unique expressions of the peoples of the world offers a beautiful spectrum of the diversity of human cultures which is simultaneously based on common universal principles of acoustics and human ingenuity and creativity. SVARAM is involved in ongoing studies and exchanges with national institutions and international experts in the field of Organology and is currently making a survey of existing Instrument collections in India. Collaborations with instrument makers are continuing to inspire the SVARAM artisans and bring new insights and fresh impetus into the exploratory work.
