Barun Ray ~ Hiren Roys son

 Surbahar ~ mahogany (2012)

pre-owned

This instrument originally sold by us, recently the owner decided to sell it as he is not continuing to play Indian classical music. It has original fitting, was mostly unplayed and all fitting and polish updated here. This was made in 2012 back when aged wood was still on hand at the Hiren Roy shop.

7 main strings and 11 sympathetics featuring a 1/2 open jawari. Synthetic materials for nuts and main bridge with brass langot.. Bone bridge for sympathetics. It has a 16 1/2 inch tabli. The footrest is integrated to fit well in the case. Decorations are traditional gulab patta design with a makara headstock carving. The headstock is slightly tilted to counter string force also.

The sound is very sweet, this is for someone who prefers a more subtle veena type sound. Sympathetics are responsive but set to sound only when the exact note is reached. Can be opened, adjusted to the buyers preference of course but it's a pleasant instrument to play and listen to. Gourd polish stabilized here over 4 months, polish on wood surfaces is very thin.

Fiberglass case, string set, hook, chalk, and an extra fitted bridge with replicated jawari included in the price.

Fully fitted and ready to go or additional final fitting done here to your specifications.

Sold, sorry!
