Hemen Concert Quality
Sarod
The owner writes:
Concert Quality Sarod
Pictures are reversed, this is a
right handed sarode.
This 25 year old, Hemen made sarod has been used for concert tours
and studio recordings in Europe and the USA by sarod virtuoso, K.
Sridhar. It has 25 strings, a brass gourd, rose-styled pegs and is
made of teak. It is 43-1/2 inches long and comes with a travel case
which includes a string box.
This sarod is in top condition and produces a lovely, hollow sound.
Although it is Hemen made, the label fell off at one point while the
sarod was cleaned at the factory and the artist did no have the
label replaced. A signed statement that this sarod was bought at
the Hemen factory in Calcutta will be provided by the artist.
Please contact Sitars Etc. as price has not
bee established for this Sarod.

Two Persian
Settars
The first one is made by Rasekh, handmade authentic. Price $600 +
shipping.
The second one is by Hosaini, also handmade. Price $400 + shipping
The owner writes:
I used to play Settar under the supervision and coaching of Mr.
Tajbakhsh, a very well known music writer, also greatly know for
his works with Settar, Tar, as well as the piano, among all
authentic Persian music fans.
After I moved to the US I stopped playing a lot and I have decided
that these great instruments are much better off in the hands of
someone that will get great use from them.

Varanasi Santur
removed by owner
The owner writes:
This santur was bought by
the owner in Varanasi (Banaras). It has nice penwork reminiscent of
Kashmiri and Persian influence. Actually the sound is quite Central
Asian like more suitable to Afghan, Kirghiz, or Kazakh music than to
North Indian music, mostly in the upper register. The
lower register sounds more Indian. It is a nice instrument to
start with. It comes with a hard case (not fiberglass) and cover,
strings, plus the tuning chiavvi and a pair of rosewood mallets (kalams).
It has some blemishes. Lesson to learn: airlines do not care
for anything fragile even when they put on all the stickers. Owner
would like to start the price at $400.00 but is open to
negotiation.

Sengupta Sitar
SOLD
This beautiful, mint-condition sitar has an
extraordinary musical tone. Made in Calcutta by Sengupta, whose
sitars have been compared to instruments made by Hiren Roy. Sitar
player Mita Nag personally monitored the making of the instrument
and the final inspection. It was ordered in 2001 and completed by
2002. This kharaj-pancham, tun instrument is very well constructed,
both on the outside and inside. The workmanship is excellent. It
has a good feel and a tone similar to a Nikhil Banerjee instrument.
It sings and resonates, and the semi-open jawari allows the
instrument to ring out while remaining clear and lyrical.
Asking $1199. The price includes
shipping and a heavy-duty fiberglass, single-tumba case.

Srishti Manipur
Tun Sitar
New lower price!
SOLD
The owner writes:
I bought this Srishti
Manipur Tun from Sitars Etc. in Aug. of '05, and while I've been
playing guitar and other string instruments for going on 42 years,
including the Sarode and Oud, I just don't bond well with this
instrument, perhaps owing to my bad back, and difficulties of
sitting easily with it.
It is a beautiful
Sitar, which has been gently played for not more than several
hours, and has spent all its time, when not played, in the case.
It's in as close 'as new' shape, as it can be, without being
exactly that, since I've owned it, but it's been well protected.
As you can see in the
pictures, the appointments follow those of the Manipur Teak as
shown on the Sitars Etc. site, though I've no doubt its a Tun
instrument, and it does say that variations may occur in decor.
47 of my 55 years with
music have taught me to be very meticulous concerning the care of
any instrument I own.
Lovely sound, and great
jawari. It tunes easily, and holds tune well.
It comes with a brown
fiberglass case, with a red silk bag, and all of the accessories
that accompany the
professional series sitars, including the book by Manfred Junius.
I'm
asking $1,000.00. I pay shipping for the US & Canada. Others
from other countries would be responsible for the shipping costs
which would be calculated at the time of sale.

Sengupta Sitar
SOLD!
A Calcutta style sitar made by Sengupta
In perfect condition, comes with single tumba hard case
Click here for
sound sample
This is a instrument made in
Calcutta, by Sengupta, favored by Manilal and Mita Nag.
They have confidence in Sengupta to produce instruments comparable
to Hiren Roy. Mita Nag personally monitored the making of
the instrument and the final inspection. It was
ordered in 2001 and completed by 2002. This kharaj-pancham,
tun instrument is very well constructed, both on the outside and
inside. The workmanship is excellent. It has a good
feel and a tone similar to a Nikhil Banerjee instrument. The
owner, who is a sitar instructor says that he has not been able to
detect any significant flaws with the instrument. He
has three more instruments and does not have time to keep
improving the tone of the sitar by playing on it often enough.
He would like to find a good home for it.

Hiren Roy #1
SOLD
Only 2 months old with 1 1/2 sets of new
strings. Included in the deal i ia a Raagini Digital
Tanpura and a Riyaz Master Electronic Tabl. All items
like new. The Sitar has a fiberglass case and the two
electronic items have their own individual gigbags (carrying bags).
Asking $2000.00 for everything.
plus $70 shipping in the continental U.S.
Hiren Roy is perhaps the most well known of the
shops from Calcutta, India. Aged instruments of Hiren Roy is
the preferred choices among professional musicians. The shop
continues to make sitars in limited quantities. The focus is on
sound which generally has a dark quality to it and more suited to
those playing in the style of Nikhil Banerjee especially. The Hiren
Roy tun concert sitar is made of the finest available aged Indian
mahogany and carved in a popular traditional style of Calcutta.
Beautiful inlay and single color penwork done in a light brown with
a faded, antique look and a design unique to Hiren Roy
instruments. Nicely carved pegs, carefully fitted and chalked. Hiren
Roy sitars use synthetic materials for the bridge, targhan, and
langot with the goal of longer lasting jawari and overall
longevity. The top tumba is equally as decorated as the sitar and
made of natural gourd in large size. The jawari is semi-closed and
professionally done, the string layout is Ravi Shankar Kharaj
Pancham style. All frets finely tuned and fitted in India and double
checked at Sitars Etc. before shipping! Meend (bending) of 5 to 6
notes is easily accomplished. Also a quality fiberglass flight case.
This is a brand new Hiren Roy played for one
month, perfect in every way. I will also add two complete sets of
strings as well as a bottle of Liquid rosin and finger picks. I will
also throw in on the deal
