sitar by Hiren Roy sitars barun roy sitars barun ray sitars

Hiren Roy Sitars: Now with a new label, the old shop has closed and Barun Roy is still making sitars but fewer than before. In our opinion he has perfected his art! We are fortunate to be able to get a number of instruments a year from him. Custom orders available..........


SITARS by BASHIR: From the most basic to complex, Bashir sitars are a joy to play. We generally carry his upper end models, have 2 models up and 4 more arriving shortly. Bashir has made for Shahid Parvez and others. Some of the finest sitars we have ever seen with great fitting!  Click here to see the instruments we carry.

How about a few CUSTOMER  REVIEWS?

NEW TO SITAR???? There's an old saying "Where facts are few, experts are many"....while our knowledge is by no means complete, please visit the SITAR INFORMATION page and join us as we bust a few myths surrounding this fantastic instrument. It will hopefully be of help to those wanting to know more and it will give you some insight into the sitar, how it's made, and what to do when looking for sitar lessons.

Speaking of SITAR lessons, we have a network of instructors who we can recommend depending on where you live. Sitar lessons and instruction available year-round in the Seattle area along with yearly Sitar and Tabla clinics hosted by us featuring Indrajit Banerjee on sitar and Gourisankar on tabla.
