Mohammed Waseem Concert Sitar

Kohinoor style decoration tun wood

Ravi Shankar style setup ~ all inlaid

A Miraj version of the popular Kohinoor design which has been done by a few makers, Waseem probably the most well known designer of these there. Extensive inlay and smooth carvings, this was ordered in a lighter color to accent the beautiful tun wood that was selected.

7 main strings and 13 sympathetics featuring a 3/4 open jawari in the style of Pandit Ravi Shankar. All natural materials for nuts/bridges. Nuts (Meru) are hand carved. The langot is maple and done in a unique style to string the main strings without having to make a loop similar to the large tanpuras.  Main pegs are a nice low profile spiral carving. Natural shellac finish in dark brown with slight yellow undertones.

Jawari is about 3/4 open, nice sympathetic response, custom jawari available of course as per your needs.

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.
