That's pretty much what I was hoping to achieve with the 'Shrutlodica.' The size is the real bonus for me. If I ever do go back to gigging it would have to fight for its place in the van along with all the other instruments - and more importantly, up all those stairs and through the damn fire doors. Even normal sized Indian harmonia are too big.

But concert would be an essential.

I might have a word with my squeezebox tech - he may fancy building something. Or I may get a shruti anyway and then see how hard it'll blow. I can sound the Hohner with minimal breath.
