The strings run over a fretless metal plate covering the wooden structure. There are four main playing strings, eleven sympathetic strings, two chikaras and two chikari strings. Bhargav Mistry started formal training in vocal classical music in 1977 under the guidance of Smt Madhuriben Khare. The Late Shri Sashikant Gundani introduced him to the sarod in 1980.
