मनजीतची संगीताची आवड व इतिहासाची नावड लक्षात घेऊन आज टोपीने सांगीतलेल्या अरबी वाद्ययंत्र "दिलरूबा" या तंतुवाद्याबद्दल माहिती सांगीतली.आता अन्य भारतीय वाद्यांची माहिती सांगतो.

The legacy of Indian musical instrument which started by the divinities and sub divinities by the musical orchestra in manning the "terrible sublime sound" of the "Damaru of Lord Shiva" is no more just a mythological concept but a concrete realism in shaping the musical tradition in India.

1.With the advent of the colonial era, Indian musical instruments underwent a sea change.

2.Instruments like the violin, the guitar, the mandolin, the clarinet and the saxophone were imported from the West and were largely absorbed in the philosophy of Indian music.

3.Whatever be the origin, however deep may be the influence of society, culture, more and tradition in delineating the tone, form and designs of Indian musical instruments, in broader aspect Indian musical instruments can be classified into four main heads depending upon the sound they produce. 

4."Bharata muni" in his Natyashastra  also classified Indian musical instruments into four broad categories namely,

- the stringed instruments (tat or Tantra Vadya),

- the wind instruments (Sushira Vadya),

- the Ghana Vadya

- the percussion instruments (Avanaddha Vadya).

This mode of classification even survives today despite the introduction of newer musical instruments into the field.
