Naeem Sitarmaker Vilayat Khan style  sitar ~ gandhar pancham setting.

6 main strings ~ 12 sympathetics

This is now an archive page: Unfortunately I've had to discontinue carrying instruments from Naeem Sitarmaker. Left here for your viewing, if you see a design you like it's easily made by one of our newer makers, just let me know!

Made from aged mahogany and gourd from Maharashtra. A 13.5 inch tabli gives this sitar a nice presence and it functions well with both soft and hard touch and is easy to play. The bridges are both ebony, main has double slots for 1st and 2nd string . Mother of Pearl inlay including the sympathetic pegs and modern style grommets. Brass langot for trouble free playing....Nice lowered action. Suitable for D tuning, solid build with proper thicknesses.

Naeem comes from the oldest family of instrument makers in Miraj and makes a wide variety of instruments. He hand engraves each label before they come to us...This sitar has been air shipped (as are all of our instruments) to preserve its quality and includes a nice fiberglass case. Please consider this if comparing to other instruments. Each model will vary slightly, current in stock model has a teak tabli and mahogany body.
