Manu ji is a third generation sitar maker from Miraj and now works exclusivelywith us in our workshop.About SitarSitar is as unique and fascinating aninstrument as the music it creates. There are different types of sitars and the construction of a quality sitar differs for each type. Making of sitar is a complex process. These instruments are crafted by experienced sitar 'makers' or 'fitters'. The neck, faceplate, and gourd of the finely-crafted sitar are typically constructed of a combination of mahogany and teak wood, and its bridges are made from materials such as deer horn, ebony, or even camel bone, although synthetic materials are also used in modern times, often to lesser effect albeit. Expert sitar makers string the instrument with a bridge through the process of optimizing the sitar's tonal quality called jawari, and then allow the instrument rest for around a week to allow the neck to bend slightly. This is done so that it settles in before the sympathetic peg holes are drilled, which ensures that the fret setting is accurate and done correctly.About This Sitar: Maharaja Kharaj Pancham Sitar - Single Toomba - ACG ModelSitar we are provding here is aKharaj PanchamSitar. It has been crafted out from Teak Wood and contains only one Main Toomba made from dried out Gourd. This Sitar carries a half-decorated Gulab Patta (Rose Petal) design.

Please note that your Sitar may loose tuning while in transit to you or if left unused for some time. Here is some help to start tuning your sitar. We are trying to tune the sitar in the traditional Kharaj Pancham - Ravi Shankar style, in the key of C. Please have a chromatic tuner handy.Tuning the 7 Main StringsWe start from the main string most further away from the tuning pegs, so if the sitar's string side is facing you, the 1st string would be the right most string.1st String - Ma - F (An octave below Middle-C)2nd String - Sa - C (An octave below Middle-C, below the F of 1st String)3rd String - Pa - G (below the C of 2nd String)4th String - Sa - C (Two octaves below Middle-C, below the G of 3rd String)5th String - Pa - G (one octave above the 3rd string, above the F of the 1st String)6th String - Sa - C (Middle C, above the G of the 5th String)7th String - Sa - C (one octave above Middle C, above the C of the 6th String)Tuning the 13 Sympathetic StringsNormally we tune the sympathetic strings strings to the same scale of the music or raga that you are playing. If you are a beginner, don't bother much about tuning these strings.
