Srishti "Standard"
Please note that we have
Standards with colored penwork in the golden wood tones in limited numbers.
We will probably never have these again, so if you like the colored penwork
on the inlays, take advantage of this limited supply of Srishti Standards.

This model comes in the "golden" tones of the Srishti sitars as well as
dark toned and dark toned with colored penwork. These are hand
made in India and we cannot always predict the wood tones we will be
getting. If you have a preference, please state it in your order. |

In response to a great demand for a
quality sitar at an affordable price we are happy to present the Srishti
Standard model. When you compare it to other models costing much more
you'll see that there's nothing standard about it!! A new
standard for an affordable sitar without compromise in quality..... |
 |
The Srishti Standard
concert model sitar is made of the finest available tun wood and carved
in one of the traditional styles of Calcutta, India on the tabli. This
design is somewhat similar to our
Calcutta traditional model....A quality sitar at a modest price.
Sound demo coming soon .....More info about Srishti Musical

And as with the other Srishti sitars,
very nice inlay and penwork, carefully done by expert craftsmen. It has
a very full bodied sound which is quite rare in a mid-range sitar. |
 |
 |
Nicely carved Rosewood pegs, carefully
fitted and chalked with deer horn end pieces and deer horn tuning beads. All other
parts are deer horn with the exception of the tail piece/string anchor.
Decorations will vary slightly..... |
 |
 |
The top tumba is made of spun wood and
nicely decorated. Also, it has surprisingly good sound projection giving
a nice stereo effect to the player. |
 |
 |
The jawari is open and professionally
done with 2 slots for the MA (1st) string and optional extra slot for
the SA (2nd) at your request. Professional jawari is rarely done on
instruments in this price range. The string layout is Ravi Shankar
Kharaj Pancham style. All frets finely tuned and fitted in India and
double checked at our shop before shipping! Meend (bending) of 5
to 6 notes is easily accomplished. |
 |
 |
A very nice fiberglass case comes
standard with the Sitar. Colors will vary on in stock sitars. Our
Srishti Standard comes with a
accessory set of spare generic strings, 3 mizrabs,
fret thread and a tarab string hook. |
 |
All Srishti sitars are monitored during
the entire building process and fine-tuned by expert musicians in India
before being air-shipped to our shop. Once at
our shop they are played by us for an additional several hours before being
offered for sale. The Standard model is a great entry level full decoration
sitar that will last you many years. Please
email
or call with any questions!

Srishti "Golden" color and in dark wood tones with color or maroon penwork.
Please specify choice when ordering. We will try to send your
choice if available. Please be aware that we don't always get both types in and
we may only have one or the other in stock. We can get them by
special order. They both have the extraordinary sound that the Srishti Standard sitar in known for.
They are both exactly the same sitar - the finish is the only difference.
