[edit]How do you tune the strings on a sur bahar and what is the thickness of the strings. Can someone post a tuning chart?
Surbahar styles
[edit]Is there difference between the Imdadkhani surbahars and the other gharanas as far as the instruments structure, similar to the Kharaj and Gandhar Pancham styles? From what I can see, the Imdadkhani instruments don't have an upper tumba whereas Kushal Das' instrument definitely had one. Is that universal? Other changes such as jawari?Rasputin98 (talk) 20:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Tuning
[edit]I don't have a lot of knowledge on this subject, but 20Hz seems really low, are we sure that it can go that low? I agree with the fellow above, we need a tuning chart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.172.110.123 (talk) 01:51, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Annapurna Devi
[edit]I think a reference should be made for Annapurna Devi, when the subject of Surbahar comes up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.60.81.9 (talk) 12:14, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Hindi spelling
[edit]Isn't the Hindi spelling of the instrument's name सुर बहार rather than सुर् बहार्? 173.89.236.187 (talk) 22:20, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
Name of instrument
[edit]Can it be added to the article why the inventors named this instrument "spring melody"? 173.89.236.187 (talk) 22:31, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

I find this article to be quite informative, as far as it goes. It answered my main questions about the instrument. The lowest fundamental note of the bass guitar and bass viol is around 40 hz, so I agree that it's unlikely that the surbahar goes an octave lower. |
