Mohammed Waseem Studio electric sitar with gourd sides

Kharaj pancham (Ravi Shankar) style

From one of the premier instrument makers in Miraj, Waseem is by far the best carver and designer in India.

Aged tun/mahogany wood, gourd sided tumba. natural fittings. Finish is shellac with matte finish and very thin providing a nice sound and scratch resistance. Has an upgraded piezo pickup mounted internally with a decent sound and jack. This is a one-off design he thought of doing similar to what Hiren Roy used to make.

Sound is resonant and responsive with 1/2 open (round) jawari. The gourd sides allow for extra depth for the tumba providing a nice acoustic tone and volume. Waseems bodies are easy to handle and not too heavy. Secondary and final fitting done here at the edge of the world by yours truly.

I've known Waseem for a very long time and happy to now be offering his instruments. We visit yearly and are in constant touch, the instruments are a nice combination of both of our skills together!

Waseems instruments are each unique so there are no carbon copies although a nearly exact model can be ordered if desired.

Air shipped (always) and fiberglass included, shipping will vary depending on your location.
