Though I could not find any recording of Baba playing Seni Rabab or Dhrupadi Rabab but I think I have found some recordings of him playing Sur Rabab (metal strings on Seni Rabab). Though it is a matter of some research work but the first recording sounds so different even than the early sarod recordings, the tuning is much lower in G# (the longer neck of an Indian rabab required longer strings hence lowered in tuning) and the sustain suggests the sound with no metal (fingerboard) interference.
Now, while doing some research on this subject I found some early sarod recordings which are tuned in G# but one has to keep in mind that in those days everything followed the predecessor of it's own.
Sur Rabab or early sarod whatever these recordings are proof that Baba is the one who changed the whole scenario of Sarod construction and playing both and is most prominent in the panorama of Sarod.
