HAND MADE SURBAHARThe surbahar is to the sitar, what the cello is to the violin. In appearance, it looks merely like an enlarged version. In acoustic features, it is a bass version. But, its technique and idiom are quite different from its smaller predecessor. The surbahar is a large-size bass sitar, with a flat rather than rounded gourd at the base, and an optional rounded sitar-type, gourd-resonator at the top. In its contemporary form, the surbahar has a string-count identical to the present-day sitar, the difference being in the thickness of the strings, the pitch at which the instrument is tuned, and the tuning system covering four octaves. Its construction gives the surbahar a deep, sonorous, long-lasting sound. The extra width of its stem enables the execution of meends of upto a full octave. These features facilitate the parsimony of strokes as well as left-hand movement between frets, which are required to deliver a higher degree of melodic continuity. The invention of the surbahar, around 1825, is attributed, variously, to Ustad Sahebdad Khan, the father of the legendary Ustad Imdad Khan, and a lesser- known Lucknow-based early 19th century sitarist, Ustad Ghulam Mohammed. The latest research favors the latter attribution.(Miner.1993). The purpose of developing the instrument was to enable sitar-players to present the elaborate dhrupad-style alap traditionally performed on the rudra veena. The logic for a special instrument for performing the alap rested on the sitar being, at that stage, technically inadequate for the purpose. With the help of the alap presentations on the surbahar, sitar players virtually eclipsed the rudra veena.
