Mohammed Waseem Concert Sitar

Kohinoor style decoration tun wood

Ravi Shankar style setup ~ all inlaid in black/gold celluloid design.

A Miraj version of the popular Kohinoor design which has been done by a few makers, Waseem probably the most well known designer of these there. Extensive inlay and smooth carvings, this was ordered in a darker inlay which hasn't been seen before.

7 main strings and 13 sympathetics featuring a 3/4 open jawari in the style of Pandit Ravi Shankar. All ebony or rosewood for nuts/bridges. Nuts (Meru) are hand carved. The langot is maple and done in a unique style to string the main strings without having to make a loop similar to the large tanpuras.  Rose carved main pegs and new design sympathetics with slimmer peghead. Natural shellac finish in dark brown with slight yellow undertones. Large upper gourd with a 'tuned' top tumbi hole.

Jawari is about 3/4 open, nice sympathetic response, custom jawari available of course as per your needs.

I've known Waseem for a very long time and happy to now be offering his instruments. We visit yearly and are in constant touch, the instruments are a nice combination of both of our skills together!

Waseems instruments are each unique so there are no carbon copies although a nearly exact model can be ordered if desired. All instruments go through my rigorous sitar setup process in the workshop.

Air shipped (always) and fiberglass included, shipping will vary depending on your location.
