Bowring Foot Pedal for Shrutibox
The foot pedal enables you to pump the bellows of your shrutibox with your foot while keeping the hands free. That way you can accompany yourself with the shrutibox while playing another instrument, e.g. guitar, flute, violin, or percussion. The only condition: the shrutibox must be able to stand stably on its own.
The Bowring Pedal works fine with the following shrutiboxes:
- Monoj Kumar Sardar small
- Monoj Kumar Sardar medium
- Monoj Kumar Sardar large
- Monoj Kumar Sardar double
- National Music triple
The Bowring Pedal does NOT work with the following shrutiboxes:
- Paloma small
- Paloma large
A heavy stainless steel base plate ensures high stability, rubber coating on the upper side prevents slipping, and the fine coordination of the components guarantees noise-free movements of the mechanism. The main body of the pedal and the end of the traction device are made of solid wood. Including screws for permanent use and assembly instructions.
The Bowring foot pedal is an invention by engineer and instrument maker Richard Bowring. From 2012 until his death in April 2025, he built each one by hand in his workshop in the Netherlands. Since then, Richard's long-standing partner Shruti Trading in the UK has taken over the manufacturing of the foot pedals. Each pedal is built by hand to high European quality standards.
