Mohammed Waseem Studio sitar with built in pickup

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. Some may recognize his work as seen by other 'makers' in Miraj, definitely unique and beautiful.

Aged tun/mahogany wood, full wooden one piece tumba. natural fittings. Finish is shellac and very thin providing a nice sound.  McIntyre makes a special version of the ST08 for internal install which is installed here in the workshop and included..

Sound is resonant and responsive with 3/4 open jawari. Custom jawari included if you wish depending on how you want to amplify it. With a very nice acoustic tone, 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.
