Tarafdar Sitar

Sitar is perhaps the most well known of the Indian instruments. Artists such as Ravi Shankar have popularized this instrument around the world. Sitar is a long necked instrument with an interesting construction. It has a varying number of strings but 17 is usual. It has three to four playing strings and three to four drone strings. The approach to tuning is somewhat similar to other Indian stringed instruments. These strings are plucked with a wire finger plectrum called mizrab. There are also a series of sympathetic strings lying under the frets. These strings are almost never played but they vibrate whenever the corresponding note is sounded. The frets are metal rods which have been bent into crescents.

Sitars are typically made of materials such as wood (for the neck and body), steel or brass (for strings), bone or synthetic materials (for the bridge), and a gourd or synthetic materials (for the main body). Some may feature decorative elements like inlays and carvings.

The sitars described offer a diverse range of materials, colors, and styles, providing both standard and customizable options. With types like Ravi Shankar Style Sitar, Coloured Electric Sitar, Niladri Kumar Style Flat Sitar, and more, these instruments cater to various musical preferences. Additionally, features such as Teak Wood Sitar, Peacock Design Sitar, and others contribute to the uniqueness of each piece. The assurance of good quality further enhances the appeal, making these sitars suitable for musicians seeking both personalized and reliable instruments.
