Mohan Lal Sharma Sitar

 Mahogany (tun) concert level professional sitar in Gulab Patta design by Rajesh Sharma, son of Mohan Lal Sharma

Kharaj Pancham (Ravi Shankar style)

Full decoration penwork/inlay. Full decoration Gulab patta (Rose) with half decoration on the gulu.

These are some 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. Mohan Lal was also the person who trained the great structure makers in Kolkata in the 60's so you'll notice the designs are recognizable at times.

This sitar features aged mahogany and full carvings and penwork  It is his top model in mahogany gulab patta design and has a large 13.75 inch tabli. Gulab patta is also considered full decoration but the gulu is not carved however the penwork, etc. is the same. Top gourd is natural. Very responsive and balanced sympathetics, closed main jawari shape and open sympathetic bridge with synthetic materials for bridges and natural for the fittings. Includes fiberglass case for the sitar and top gourd. Email for a sound clip and/or if you'd like more information!
