Mohan Lal Sharma Teak Sitar

Full decoration teak sitar by Rajesh Sharma, son of Mohan Lal Sharma

Kharaj Pancham (Ravi Shankar style)

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, 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 a combination of Burmese (neck) and Assam teak with full carving in rose garland style and monochrome penwork. Has a large 14 inch tabli. Top gourd is natural. Very responsive and balanced sympathetics, round (gol) jawari shape with natural materials for bridge and fittings. Also has a kharaj bridge. The inside of the neck is lined with mahogany wood to assist the pegs in gripping, something generally never seen on teak sitars....We get 2 per year in this style...Includes fiberglass cases for the sitar and top gourd.
