SRISHTI
MANIPUR TEAK
 |
Srishti Manipur Teak
concert model sitar is made of the finest available teak wood and carved
in the traditional styling of Manipur India. Manipur is a district
in Northeastern India that is known for it's rich cultural traditions
and we are very pleased to offer their distinct styling in flawless
detail on our Manipur teak sitar. More info about Srishti Musical
here... Listen to a sound sample here! |

|
 |
The Manipur has very intricate penwork,
previously unseen outside of India!! |
 |
 |
Nicely carved Rosewood pegs, carefully
fitted and chalked with bone centerpieces and bone tuning beads. |
 |
 |
The top tumba is equally as decorated
as the tabli and perfectly fitted to the sitar. All our top sitars from
Srishti have only natural gourds for the top! |
 |
 |
The jawari is semi-open and
professionally done with 2 slots for the MA (1st) string and optional
extra slot for the SA (2nd) at your request. 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
between 5 to 6 notes is easily accomplished. And yes, it sounds as good
as it looks! |
 |
 |
A fiberglass case comes standard with
the Manipur teak 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!!
