The Bowring foot pedal offers the perfect solution for hands-free playing of our Shruti Boxes, opening up new musical possibilities for string, wind, handpan and percussion instrument players. It is easy and satisfying to play, with smooth control of loudness and sustain.
The Bowring foot pedal has been designed for shrutiboxes by Monoj Kumar Sardar. It can be used for shrutiboxes with likewise construction from other manufacturers as well (e.g. our small Paloma shrutibox). However, its usability for our large Paloma shrutibox is limited, because it does not allow full opening of the bellows and has a delay in reset.
And ... I've tried it while sitting on the floor. It works!!
Folded the foot pedal measures 22cm x 9cm x 3cm and weighs 600g.
