Learn more about the music:
Abhisek Lahiri is a gharana-blending young sarod player, who fuses ideas from the Shahjahanpur, Maihar, and Senia Bangash traditions. Early training under his father Alok Lahiri has led to a successful career, including global tours, participation in Indian cultural delegations, and fusion work with his East Meets Middle East group.

The Todi raga family is central to the Hindustani tradition, overflowing with musical ideas not found anywhere else on the planet. Musicologist Rajan Parrikar describes Todi as “the most profound, finespun idea in melodic music...from ecstasy to frolic to pathos to bathos to melancholy - every conceivable human emotion has refracted through the Todi prism.” Many hear an unsettling, existentially anxious mood, while others see it has having “the playfulness of a newborn lying in bed content, smiling and playful”. A Sikh writer considers the raga to “explain things that we may be aware of, but fail to ponder upon”. Suffice to say, it is a versatile, ambiguous raga, to connect with on a deeply personal level.
All Todi ragas are based around the eponymous thaat scale - an angular shape consisting of the swaras SrgMPdNS. There are many variants - Asavari Todi (Komal Rishabh Asavari), Bahaduri Todi, Bilaskhani Todi, Desi Todi, Gujari Todi, and many more - but all centre around core ideas found in the main Raag Todi (also known as Miyan ki Todi, Darbari Todi, and Shuddha Todi). The raga takes a curious vadi-samvadi [king and queen note] pairing of Dha and Ga, and features prominent use of sruti [microtones] - komal Re, Ga, and Dha are tuned a little low, and tivra Ma is strikingly sharp. The ascent can often omit Sa and Pa, instead favouring intimate interactions between Re and Ga to create a distinctive tension.
Bilaskhani Todi is a particularly auspicious Todi family raga. It is said to have been created by Bilas Khan, son of the legendary saint-musician Tansen of Emperor Akbar’s court, who sung Todi at his father’s wake. He found himself so stricken by grief that he mixed up the notes. But his mind was set at rest, as the mourners witnessed his father’s corpse raise one hand in approval of the new melody.

bhishon bhalo
I think his is a burma teak but Maihar style sarod. I feel Naba Kumar uses thinner skins and hollows out the wood slightly more then Hemen Sen did hence the more open sound.

It sounded different than sarods I usually hear. I thought they might have just been using a cheaper microphone or something
Raag Malkaus played by Abhisek Lahiri in sarod, published by Darbar Arts Culture Heritage Trust on KZread dated 13th April, 2015, was more "fabulous", "mesmerizing" , "beautiful". That playing is more accurate than this...more expectation for future

Bilaskhani Todi & Bhairavi share the same notes (swara) but in a very different configuration.
