Ten String Magic: How L. Shankar reinvented the violin
On 13 February 2026, L. Shankar takes over the Royal Opera House stage with the instrument that has come to define his career: the 10-string, double-necked stereophonic electric violin known as the LSD.
Developed in 1978 with New York luthier Ken Parker, it entered the wider public ear in 1981 - heard on Phil Collins’ Face Value and on Shankar’s own Who’s to Know. Shankar has described it as an instrument that can travel from bass weight to treble brightness, letting one player cover a far wider register without switching instruments mid-piece.
His father, V. Lakshminarayana, trained him in Carnatic music, where pitch behaves like speech: a note stretches, turns, and settles with intention. Shankar absorbed that discipline to a degree that the technique seems to vanish in performance.
Shakti became the fiercest arena for that approach. With John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussain, and T. H. Vikku Vinayakram, the group played with the pressure of a high-wire act. The violin sits inside dense rhythmic cycles and still holds its clarity. McLaughlin’s guitar carved sharp patterns; Shankar replied with curved Carnatic phrases; the percussion treated time as elastic. Even at high tempo, every turn felt deliberate. Over time, Shakti reshaped what “fusion” could mean and raised the bar for ensemble improvisation.
In 1979, Shankar toured with Frank Zappa as his electric violinist, learning how quickly a band can shift register, mood, and volume. The next decade brought ECM recordings. Pancha Nadai Pallavi, recorded in 1989 and released in 1990 with Zakir and Vikku, moves through long forms without losing tension. Raga Aberi later earned a Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album.
His credits also extend far beyond the classical circuit, including studio work with Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. The through line stays consistent: he treats tone as language, and rhythm as a partner with teeth.
Friday’s show comes with one simple instruction—follow the line of his sound. Listen closely to the silence around it. When the phrase bends, notice how it returns. That return is where the discipline lives, and where the freedom becomes audible.

It’s an honor to share my testimony with the world. You merit all the accolades that mention you. Lord Meduza has been a gift to me since our meeting online. He is the only one that knows everything about creating spells. I adore him immensely for his kindness, compassion, integrity, and the support he offers to everyone who interacts with him. Without Lord Meduza, I wouldn’t have survived this difficult situation. His magic turned me into a Lottery winner of £177 Million Pounds, transforming my entire life into something beautiful and extraordinary. The numbers he provided for the lottery were transformative, elevating me from grass to grace, and I want to express my eternal gratitude to him. Thank you, sir, for being a source of help to those in need.

Today, I decided to speak out publicly online to share the story of my happiness and tell how I found hope again after a very difficult period in my life. Two years ago, my wonderful relationship with my husband fell apart one of the most painful experiences I have ever had to endure. For a long time, I tried various ways to save our relationship, but unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful. I felt disheartened and wondered if there was any hope at all of winning my relationship back. Everything changed when I came across a testimonial online about Priest Alaska. The positive experiences described there encouraged me to reach out and seek his advice. I sent him an email, and after communicating with him, I regained hope. I am grateful that I took that step. Today, I am happier and look toward my relationship and the future with confidence. My experience has taught me that one should not give up hope, even when things seem impossible. If you, too, are facing relationship problems and would like to learn more about Priest Alaska, you can contact him at alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or visit his website: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.
