The Dilruba is a fiddle-like instrument which is played with a bow. The Dilruba is carved from wood, has a goatskin soundboard, has main and sympathetic strings. A bow is drawn across the strings which causes them to resonate, and the bridges are moveable to adjust the tone.

The dilruba and the esraj are very similar indian classical instruments and share the same roots with sarangi, but they are more recent. The instruments has a neck similar to sitar, but smaller, with sitar frets and sympathetic strings. The bridge is seated on a skin stretched over the body of the instrument. |

The Sarangi has no frets or fingerboard. It has four main strings that lay over the sympathetic strings. The bow is held palm upwards. It is drawn across the main strings, just above the bridge. The fingers of the left hand note the strings. This is done by pressing and sliding the bottom of the fingernail against the side of the string. |

The Sarod evolved from the Rebab; some refer to it as a bass Rebab. It is a relatively recent instrument, having its origins perhaps no more than 200 years ago. There are 8 played strings, 2 drone strings and 7 sympathetic strings. It is played with a pick made of coconut shell.

Vichitra veena is an Indian classical music plucked string instrument. From the been it has kept the flat bridge (jawari), the two pumpkin resonators (thumbas), a body, hollow tube made of teak wood on which the strings are fixed at both ends. Because of the absence of frets, one can play perfect meends (glissandos) on a octave and a half, something difficult to perform on a been, and so get closer to the abilities of the human voice.

The been or veena has always been the instrument of Indian classical music and more precisely dhrupad. The been is made of a body, a hollow tube made of teak wood, on which the strings are fixed at both ends. The bridge is a flat bridge, multiplying the depth of the note's spectrum. Two resonators made out of pumkins are placed on each side of the instrument, not far from the two ends of the body.
