|
 |
The Srishti
Grand Calcutta 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! Sound Demo Coming soon!..... |
 |
|
| |
 |
And as with the other
Srishti sitars, very nice inlay and penwork, carefully done by expert
craftsmen, and comes with an OM very prominently placed in the middle of
the elaborate strike zone inlays. |
 |
 |
Nicely carved Rosewood pegs, carefully
fitted and chalked with bone centerpieces and bone tuning beads. Also,
at the top of the neck there is a special emphasis on the inlay creating
a beautiful niche. |
 |
 |
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! |
 |
 |
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. 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 fiberglass case comes standard with the
Grand Calcutta. 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 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!!
