Explanation – The sarod instrument evolved from the Afghan rabab (an instrument with a similar long neck, strings, and a skin belly), which was brought to India in the 16th century and later developed into its modern form in the 19th century. Sarod is a stringed instrument made of coconut shell, tun wood, drone, shikri, and ivory. This is a traditional instrument that is found in various parts of North India. A popular plucked instrument, it is used in North Indian classical music for solo concerts.
