It's a great instrument, but I am always afraid that I might break it on my first try and end up drinking a giant hole in my bank account!

Here is the sitting position. The artist is Ud. Asad Ali Khan.

As I hail from a conservative muslim family my mom did not allow us to take any kind of music or dance lessons.Here in the US both my girls started taking piano lessons when they were four.My older one also plays flute in the school band.Younger one also plays percussion and I am proud to say that she excels in bells(xylophone).Is it same as Santoor?

Anyone heard about Didgeridoo - Australian Aboriginal music instrument.
This is not an Indian musical instrument but the sound produced by it is with such a deep base - I was pleasantly surprised when I first time heard that at a small mining town of Australia called Kalgoorlie - one Aussie Aboriginal was playing a very soft music on it! It looks like this -

Anyone got more info on Didgeridoo?

Santoor is a string instrument unlike xylophone. here ggoes some info -

Santoor is a stringed instrument which is popular in the middle East. It is of great importance in Kashmir. Santoor is used there for accompanying a type of classical music called 'Soofiana Kalam', along with other instruments.

Santoor is made of a box of wood, trapezoid in shape. Over this there are thirty bridges, arranged in fifteen rows, two in each row. A set of four strings of metal tuned to the same note is stretched over each pair of bridges, thus the total number of wires is sixty. The length and thickness of strings vary according to the octave, the strings are thickest in the lower octave. It is played with a pair of flat wooden pieces curved at the striking end.
