Srishti "Jodhpur" Sitar
The Srishti Jodhpur concert model sitar is made of the finest
available tun wood and carved in
the traditional intricate styling of Jodhpur India. Jodhpur is an area in
Northern India that is known for it's rich cultural traditions and
complex artistry. We
are very pleased to offer their distinct styling and detail on the
Jodhpur tun sitar.
The Jodhpur sitar by Srishti has very intricate penwork
in multiple colors
and very unique carving around a central intricate theme, previously
unseen outside of India!
Nicely carved Rosewood pegs, carefully
fitted and chalked with Deer Horn center pieces and Deer Horn tuning beads.
The very stylish top tumba is equally as decorated
as the gullu or back of the main bottom gourd of the sitar, and perfectly fitted to the sitar. All our top sitars have only
natural gourds for the top!
The jawari is semi-open and
professionally done. 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. And
yes, it sounds as good as it looks!
A fiberglass case comes
standard with the Srishti Jodhpur Sitar. Colors will vary on in stock sitars. If we
are out of stock and you pre-order then you have the option to choose
your case color. Also, all our Srishti sitars (except the Standard) come with an
accessory kit that
includes a book of your choice, 2 spare pegs,
a generic set of strings, a fabric cover, fret thread, an oil box, a
taraf string hook, 3 mizrabs.
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. We believe
these to be the finest new sitars available and want you to be completely
satisfied with your instrument!!
