Talk:Sarod

message: I tried adding some links and categorised it, but I don't know an awful lot about the subject. For a good article on a similar topic, see :Sitar. This should be a good candidate for improvement. riana_dzasta 12:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: OK, I'm talking to myself, but this has to be written down somewhere - why was a perfectly decent article cropped so mercilessly? Without readding information, too. Oh well, I'll see what I can take from there. riana_dzasta 15:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I just cleaned up the Origins section a bit.  It really looks like someone just copied and pasted the entire first half from some other unknown source.  There was html formatting in the text, as well as non-standard quote characters.  Some of the Origins text should probably be removed, because it's just kind of boring and repetitive.  I'm not a subject matter expert, so I don't feel I should do it. --nathanbeach 20:45, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Rationale for Ranking

message: Hi there folks, I think terming Allauddin Khan as the universally greatest indian music teacher is a rather subjective attitude.
I'm sure there are people who would not agree to this. Allauddin Khan can certainly be pegged as a very well known and virtouso teacher, but to make an absolute statement in such a context is unacceptable. Also saying that Ali Akbar Khan and Amjad Ali Khan are more well known maybe a personal opinion! just as my opinion differs. I started taking ethnomusic classes in boston
there i was introduced to a sarod player named Buddhadev Gupta, so for maybe a year I never heard of any other sarod player besides Buddhadev and his teacher. I'm certain that theres many other examples. Like in New York city the Sarod is associated with the name Vasant Rai, in San Fransisco its Ali Akbar Khan, In london its Gurudev Singh, In Isreal theres this other player whose name escapes me, In calcutta the name Buddhadev has an istant connotation to the word sarod. I have to say howver when i was travelling in India, with my brand new dulal sarod, people did ask if I was Amjad Ali Khans student. So over all in MY opinion Amjad is the the most well known. When i mentioned Ali akbar khan or Rajiv taranath or Buddhadev people justr had a blank stare and had never heard these names, but the name Amjad Ali Khan did ring bells in peoples head.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.253.65 (talk) 21:52, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Universally the greatest sarod teacher 

message: I would like to suggest the inclusion of the names of late Sharan Rani and Zarain Daruwala under the senior players list, as to my knowledge these two were the only female professional sarod players. Wikipedia crusader (talk) 15:06, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Female sarod players 

message: It seems Bahadur Khan has become a bête noir, with people deleting his name from the list as they please.  I do not know if this is out of malice or ignorance, but tend to feel it is the former.  Before you delete his name, try to at least listen to some of his recordings.  Just because he was not that interested in marketing himself, and his name is mainly known to music connoisseurs, does not mean his name should be deleted from the encyclopedia.  He deserves to be in the senior players list, and if not, I can argue against a few others in the same list as well. Wikipedia crusader (talk) 10:04, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bahadur Khan 

message: A user from the IP address 98.14.222.160 has routinely edited references to Dr Kalyan Mukherjea, Dr Rajeev Taranath and Ms Zarine Sharma amongst 20th century greats of sarod playing. One wonders why this NYC-based user has so much of an objection to the inclusion of these players on this list, where certain lesser players are happily tolerated. Since my earlier intervention with a note on Rajeev Taranath, his place in the list seems to have been secured, but Kalyan Mukherjea appears to be the focused target of 98.14.222.160. So much so, that the entry on Mukherjea in this talk page was also edited out by the same user. It is fine if you wish to evolve a personality cult around a player you like, but this seems to me to be a targeted attack on Dr Mukherjea and others who may be associated with this name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Glissando1937 (talk • contribs) 07:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dr Kalyan Mukherjea 

message: To the Rajiv Taranath contributer: Well said about Rajiv, he certainly is a very senior musician, however sadly very underrated. He definately  deserves a place in the senior/well known Sarod players.
I must add, that Vasant Rai was NEVER a student of Ali Akbar Khan, he was Allauddin Khan's student. If you hear his recordings his playing and style are very different from Ali Akbar Khan.
Unfortunately due to his very early demise, he did not get a chance to get as exposed as Ali Akbar Khan, or Ravi Shankar, or for that matter even Banerjee.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deeguitars (talk • contribs) 19:52, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states:
The word sarod roughly translates to "beautiful sound" or "melody" in Persian, one of the many languages spoken in Afghanistan. 
To add to article: what are the actual Persian words (in Persian script) meaning "beautiful sound" and "melody"? 173.88.241.33 (talk) 19:09, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
