The Shahibaja is a common Indian Musical Instrument; the name literally translates to “Royal Instrument.” It is an electrified and a slightly modified version of the Bulbul Tarang or the Indian Banjo. The instrument is commonly used as a vocal accompaniment in Folk music, and is finding popularity in semi-classical, techno and fusion music.

This instrument has 2 main melody strings tuned an octave apart and 3 rhythm (Zala) strings. The notes are fretted with the left hand with the typewriter-like keys and the strummed with the right hand using a guitar pick. It has a range of 2 and a ½ octaves. There is a pickup and a 1/4 out jack so you can plug into an amplifier.
