The sursingar, sursringar or surshringar, is a musical instrument from India having many similarities with the sarod. It is larger than the sarod and produces a deeper sound. It precedes the sarod chronologically. In Dhrupad style it was used as a solo instrument in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is regarded as a further development of the Dhrupad-Rabab that has more or less disappeared today.Its neck has a metal fingerboard and the steel and bronze strings are played with a metal pick, while the bridge is made of a flat horn. It has two resonant boxes; the main box is made from a cut gourd, on which a wooden cover is attached.
