Esraj :
This is a type of Sarangi with metal strings and is used chiefly in Bengal.

Dilruba :
The neck of a dilruba is much like that of a sitar, with domed movable frets, but its resonating chamber looks more like that of a sarangi, being box-like, waisted on the upper side and covered with skin. It has only one bridge, which rests on the taut skin and carries the four main strings as well between nineteen and twenty-two sympathetic strings. It is played with a bow.

Sarinda :
He sarinda has an oval shaped resonating chamber. This is covered with wood or skin and its wider top half is open. The bridge is set on the lower half. The two strings, usually of gut, are played with a bow.
