Surando is an ancient traditional Sindhi musical instrument. It is played by musicians in Sindh, Kutch, Rajasthan, and Balochistan. The term "Surando" is derived from the Persian word "Surayindah," meaning "producer of tunes."
In the literature
One of the Sindhi folktales of Sindh written by Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai is Sorath Rai Diyach. In this tale, Bijal, a charan, plays the Surando, and the king, Rai Diyach, is so impressed by the music that he agrees to Bijal's request for his head as a sacrifice in honour of the Surando music.
