Tun Sitar
Limited edition, custom size and
aged Tun wood

from India
|
|
 |
From Rikhi Ram's Music of
New Delhi, this is one of Sanjay Sharma's
masterpiece sitars. Made to the size specifications of the famous Nodu
Mullick sitar 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. Custom order only, with many options to suit your
playing style and preference! 14 inch tabli and wider neck are a standard
feature. |
 |
|
 |
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 green and
red. When 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 natural gourd with
decorations that are exactly matched to the sitar.
|
 |
|
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.
