Dilruba

Dilruba is a bowed string instrument that is very close to the combination of Sitar and Sarangi. It has a wooden neck like a sitar which has 18 strings and has several metallic frets. Dilruba has a series of sympathetic strings, which are tuned to the notes of a particular Raag. The Dilruba is bowed with the right hand like the Sarangi, while the left-hand plays the strings.
