Sitars for musicians by musicians!!

 Welcome to the SITAR page, we offer sitars by Srishti Musical, Hiren Roy, RA Sitarmaker & Hemen (coming soon). Every instrument is carefully monitored through each stage of production and air shipped only. While we have access to nearly any maker in India, we've chosen these few makers based on predictable superior quality and tone. We have a long history with each maker and regularly visit India every year to monitor progress on the instruments. We go to an extreme degree  that is unmatched by anyone else to guarantee a very high quality instrument for you!! Custom modifications are available from each maker provided you're willing to wait for it. Otherwise, in stock instruments will generally feature half closed jawari in the case of Kharaj Pancham sitars or closed jawari for Vilayat Khan style sitars. For detailed information about makers, etc. please visit the Sitar information page.
 

Started in 2001, we've returned to the original vision. Instruments of the highest quality, carefully monitored during all phases of construction. Exclusively available only at Rain City.

Please click on each model to go to the page for it! Each sitar featured is the exact sitar that is in stock, no substitutions (except for the Standard). Custom modifications (Nikhil Banerjee style,teak etc.) available for those who wish to wait. Almost all instruments now made with modern style mogra ~ grommets and natural materials for both bridges.
