I don't know any raag as such, but I really have the heart to learn and to play Dilruba.<BR/><BR/> I am totally naive about the topic of Dilruba and your question : "what is the make of your dilruba?" ... I am sorry but I don't understand what it actually means. I hope with a proper guiance and knowledge I will learn. But while getting the Dilruba the store owner told me that this is made in Calcutta. And for initial tuning I got it tuned from Master Saajan Singh, Delhi. According to him the Dilruba ia quite huge and is not the normal size that we get to see. I actually carried my Saaz from Bombay to Delhi specifically to get it tuned and you must be knowing Upinder Mam, she ownes her own blog and if I have not mistaken you know her quite well. She helped me to get the saaz tuned. Finally, I got my Dilruba tuned and I can play the basic sargam. Anyways, I went to a local musical store to get a bundle of strings because I was trying to tune the <I>jawari</I> bridge but I ended up breaking the string itself !... I enjoy experimenting with my Saaz and I think this is the way to (technically )know it better ;) Now when some of the strings are tuned I know how SA sounds otherwise I didn't have any idea. The first six months with me and my saaz were wonderful, I used to run the bow on all the four strings, you see ! I could gather all the information that I could get online including the free lessons from Raj Academy's website but I couldn't understand anything. <BR/><BR/> Its a different story now that I have little knowledge of playing my Dilruba and now when I play there is no screaching sound at all. By the way, now when I got the string bundle I carried one as a sample to show it to the store owner. It turned out that the (sympathetic)strings of my Dilruba are thick and with the knowledge of the store owner I should get them changed, BUT! I really don't want to experiment more with it ... no more. Everything in a good time. It was really nice to know you all ...
