I had to set it up to play; it's incredibly sensitive to the bow. Like its cousin the sarangi, the strings are stopped by fingernails, not by pressing them to the fingerboard. The decorations are amazing. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
