Pandit Tarun Bhattacharya, a disciple of late Pt. Ravi Shankar, is the famous Maihar Gharana's only santoor maestro. Bhattacharya has revolutionized santoor, the instrument, as well as its style of play. He is the inventor of "mankas" or fine tuners that help in the tuning of this 100-stringed instrument fast, with a long-lasting effect and a very high degree of accuracy.
