The Esraj is a stringed instrument that is popular mainly in Bengal and is used for instance for accompanying Tagore songs whereas it is hardly ever played as a solo instrument in classical Indian music. The Esraj has six playing strings and 15 resonant strings. The neck is equipped with frets in a similar shape as the Sitar’s. The sturdy, solid wooden body is covered with goat leather like the Sarod, which serves as resonance cover. Mounted on this leather cover is a horn bridge which carries the playing strings that are partly steel and partly bronze. The sympathetic strings also run through the bridge. The Esraj is played with a bow similar to the violin and produces a sound that is rich in overtones and resonance and which reminds of old Renaissance instruments from Europe.
