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.
SPECIAL NOTE; No Warranty on Strings: Manufacturers recommend that you change the strings on your instrument as soon as you receive it. Your instrument has completed a long journey before it ever begins the final leg to your home. During this time the elements affect the strings and may shorten their lifespan. It occasionally happens that a string will fail during that final leg of the journey. Therefore, it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings soon after it arrives. If you are a student you may want to change your strings every 3-4 months. If you are a rock star you may need to change your strings every week. If you store your instrument, you should consider changing the strings when you pick it up again.
