Mohan Lal Sharma Sitar

Teak concert sitar in munda style by Rajesh Sharma, son of Mohan Lal Sharma

Kharaj Pancham (Ravi Shankar style)

I had first seen/played this sitar back in the Spring of 2011 and unfortunately couldn't take it as I already had a full load for the plane back. It was most fortunate that is was still available this Fall! This is one of the best sitars I have ever played, in the top 10 definitely.

Rajesh Sharma was trained well by his father Mohan Lal, who has since passed away. His main shop is in Patna but he has a small shop in Varanasi also. Mohan Lal's knowledge came from almost 30 years of working with Radha Krishna Sharma and was the only person fully trained by him.

This sitar features premium teak wood, Japanese celluloid and each sympathetic peg inlay was carefully made by Rajesh. It is one of his top models and made in the munda (means 'bald') style. Bridges and fitting are made from natural materials, an extra bridge in ebony is included for practice and is 1mm higher, fitted by Rajesh to this sitar.

$175 extra for fiberglass case upgrade.
