Radha Krishna Sharma Kharaj Pancham sitar. 7 main strings ~ 11 sympathetics ~ 1970's made ~ half decoration We've 'known' this sitar for a number of years and it came up for sale due to non-use and we didn't hesitate! It hasn't been played much, original deer horn bridge with low wear! Very open jawari with a Ravi Shankar type sound and other than very minor chips on the main gourd this instrument is very nice for its age. A flawless quarter-sawn tabli, japanese celluloid with exquisite penwork rarely seen anymore. Whole gourd, not sectioned with the stem base left on....the top tumba is spun wood ~ large size. These older Radha Krishna Sharma sitars are quite nice and pre-date the commonly seen factory produced instruments that came after the maker passed away. Serial number 386 stamped in the wood. SOLD, Sorry.   Please click on each picture to view!

	DURGA SAROD Vintage quality! A beautiful sarod made by Durga Babu. It's approximately 60 years old and had a new skin and langot (tailpiece) on it along with a new upper bridge. The work was done by Dulal in India last year. This particular instrument was owned by a student of Radhika Mohan Maitra and was played on for 18 years by him until he retired from music. Durga Babu was a famous sarod maker from the 1930's to the 1960's and his instruments were favored by musicians such as Radhika Mohan Maitra, Dabir Khan, Shyam Gangoly and others. He was considered by many to be the best maker of his time before Hemen came along. His shop was in Howrah, across the river from Calcutta. This particular instrument has a sound you would expect  from one its age and is made of Tun (mahogany) wood. Has the older pegs and original brass tumba on it, replaced parts have been kept and come with it. Comes with a brown padded fiberglass case SOLD, sorry.                  Please click on each picture to view!
