Rahul Sharma is the son and musical disciple of santoor player Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, from a family steeped in the tradition of Kashmir. He is an Indian classical musician, working in the Hindustani classical music tradition. He plays the santoor, a type of hammered dulcimer whose strings are struck with a pair of light carved wooden mallets. Normally a santoor concert features just one raga, since to play a different raga dozens of strings have to be retuned.
