From
Rikhi Ram's Music of New Delhi made by
Sanjay Sharma Made to the size specifications of the instrument
Pandit Ravi Shankar currently plays and constructed from 25+ year old tun
wood (Indian Mahogany). A sound to satisfy even the most demanding
professional, perfectly decorated from top to bottom. 13 to 13.25 inch tabli
width with fantastic action particularly suited for fast taans. |
 |
|
 |
Select gourds from Maharashtra are used for the
tumba. These gourds are known for their strength and hardness and produce a
superior tone. They are also extensively polished with shellac in a climate
controlled environment, resulting in a durable and glossy finish. |
 |
|
|
Aged tun wood, over 25 years old at the very
least is used. Beautiful grain and straight lines.... as with the teak,
availability of this wood is very limited and no expense has been spared in
obtaining it! |
 |
 |
Beautifully decorated carvings
perfectly matched with exceptional penwork and inlay. The penwork on the
sitar shown here is done in one of the popular Rikhi Ram styles in black and
red. If custom ordering this sitar you of course can choose your own colors
and design from the many offered by Rikhi Ram's Music.

Another hallmark of Sanjay Sharma's work is his use of
modern tools for precision peg fitting, all hardware, string guides, etc.
Precise fitting ensures maximum transmission of sound through the entire
instrument! |
 |
 |
The top tumba is spun wood with decorations
that are exactly matched to the sitar. Lightweight with sound projection
equal to a natural gourd.
|
 |
|
Every sitar by Rikhi Ram's Music comes with a
specially made Rikhi Ram fiberglass case and padded case cover. These
cases are made of hi-grade fiberglass and each one is molded to the
sitar for a snug fit and takes the worry out of transporting your
instrument. Also on the double tumba models a fiberboard case is
included for the upper tumba.
