The Srishti Calcutta Traditional 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. The design has been very popular for the last 50 years....It is a larger sitar, slightly wider tabli and deeper bottom gourd. A very responsive instrument with excellent sound! Listen to a sound demo.....More info about Srishti Musical here.....

The top tumba is equally as decorated as the tabli and perfectly fitted to the sitar. All our sitars have only natural gourds for the top and inlay on the sound holes in the back!
