Correct Option: b)
The Sarod is a fretless, plucked string instrument in Hindustani classical music. Its main playing strings are tuned to specific notes that form the base for the raga being performed. The first (or main) playing string is the highest-pitched among the melody strings.
Information Booster:
· The first principal (or main) playing string of the Sarod is traditionally tuned to Madhyam “M” of the middle octave.
· This tuning serves as a fundamental reference point.
· The other main strings are typically tuned to Sa and Pa (or other notes depending on the raga), creating a foundational chord that supports melodic exploration.
Additional Knowledge:
· The drone strings (chikari) are tuned to Sa and a higher Sa.
· Some players may use alternate tunings, but the standard and most common tuning for the first melody string is Madhyam.
