Sarod
The sarod is an Indian
version of banjo and rabab. Like a banjo, it is a
stringed instrument with the soundboard made of goat-skin. However, the overall
design is similar to the rabab. Unlike the rabab, this instrument contains several resonating
sympathetic strings, has no frets, and most of the action of this instrument is
done by sliding the finger tip or finger nail against the metal fingerboard.
The overall instrument is made of wood.
