This recording features two plucked stringed instruments, which have a long history and high status in India. The Sitar is already well-known in the West, and the Surbahar has gained a comparable esteem almost entirely through the efforts of its leading exponent, Ustad Imrat Khan. Both the Sitar and Surbahar are long necked fretted instruments, with a gourd resonator at the lower end and a number of metal strings which are either plucked or which vibrate sympathetically.
