What does SAROD mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
A fretless, lute-like stringed instrument used in classical North Indian music, played with a plectrum.
A sarod has a deep, resonant body, a fretless metal fingerboard, and a mix of melody and sympathetic strings that give it a rich, buzzing tone unlike a guitar or a violin. Musicians pluck the sarod with a plectrum while sliding the fingernails of the other hand along the fingerboard, allowing smooth glides between notes that are central to Indian classical melody. Alongside the sitar, the sarod is one of the leading solo instruments in North Indian, or Hindustani, classical music, often paired with tabla drums in performance. Its name and design developed in India from earlier Afghan and Central Asian lutes brought by musicians who settled there.
