From
Rikhi Ram's Music of New Delhi, this is another one of
Sanjay Sharma's masterpiece sitars. Made in the Vilayat Khan style and
constructed from 60+ year old Burmese teak wood. Unequaled sound combined
with an elegant simplicity, guaranteed to satisfy even the most demanding
musician. Very rare and limited in quantity! |
 |
|
 |
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 with
particular attention to the drying time necessary to achieve a durable and
glossy finish. |
 |
|
 |
Aged Burma teak wood, 60 years old at the very
least is used. Perfect tight grain and straight lines... it is the ultimate
choice in wood for a teak sitar. Availability of this wood is very limited
and no expense has been spared in obtaining it! |
 |
 |
Beautifully decorated carvings
perfectly matched with faux mother of pearl inlay. A touch of penwork
combined with a mirror smooth french polished finish.

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! |
 |
|
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. An embossed Rikhi Ram logo adds the final touch to the
case.
