Sarod from India. Size is 44" long by 12" wide. Fretless instrument is played similarly to a guitar or sitar. Smooth steel neck. Body is carved from a solid piece of wood, and face is white leather. Very resonant sound! Comes with hardshell case.
23 metal strings run along the steel face plate on this rosewood instrument: 8 main strings, 2 drone and 13 sympathetic strings.
Floral inlays and a brass toomba add to the visual interest.
The bridge rests on a natural goat skin sound board giving it a lyrical sound with sustained notes.
The steel fret board permits the characteristic slides (or meend) associated with Indian raga.
