scalpel yes, 1/16 notes @ 100 bpm is fine, but sarod feels klunky(lose the flutter at that speed). My goal with sarod is to not just let it rip (that feels the most loose for me), but rather find the speed at which I should shift from scalpel to sarod.

But really my left hand is slacking compared to these speeds,,,,,I can play scales at 1/8 notes @ 138 bpm. So I think I should be spending more time trilling.

Sarod and Scalpel are two techniques that are woven into each other. Think about running and jogging. You can't run at a jogging speed, just doesn't make sense. Scalpel and Sarod are two techniques you should be able to fluidly move between depending on speed, at least that's how I see it.
