Jody Stecher's music exemplifies the open door between tradition and creative personal expression. A renowned singer and multi-instrumentalist, his recordings have been Grammy finalists, won Indy Awards, and been a musical influence spanning generations and continents. Jody learned sursringar from Zia Mohiuddin Dagar during the decade spanning the mid 1970s-80s and more recently has had significant input and guidance from Zia Fariduddin Dagar. The sursringar originated as a modification of the large Dhrupad rabab (seni rabab), that was made to increase the sustain of the strings and improve the tonal clarity. It is has a voice similar to the bin, though sweeter in the mid and upper range.
