Srishti SINDH Concert Sitar

Aged premium Indian tun wood (mahogany). Nothing spared in the making of this instrument. It features many design elements of the old Kanai Lal shop without being over the top. Modern style tarab string outlets. Comes with a specially made fitted fiberglass case and separate fiberglass top tumba case. You'll notice all natural materials for the bridge and fittings, the langot has been carved from wood and reinforced with antler on the string contact portion.

The meru (nut) has been slightly angled for the kharaj strings to be in tune when fretted, something we thought we'd try and it worked. The solid Kanai Lal style headstock increases the sustain by a large degree. Quartersawn wood for the neck, flat sawn on the tabli. Specially designed main pegs, this sitar includes a spare main peg also. There is a 14" tabli width, a decent sized sitar reminiscent of the grand sitars of the past. Current in stock model has black/red penwork, not green. Add a fitted resin bridge for $50 with sitar purchase.

Custom orders are available to your specifications.

This sitar has been air shipped (as are all of our instruments) to preserve its quality.
