A Concert level sitar offered by a well established maker; Kanai Lal & Sons. In our humble opinion, this is a very impressive sitar.The string layout is Gandhar Pancham tunning, (Vilayat Khan style) which is 6 main plus 13 sympathetic strings. It has a dark cherry color finish, which has been done exceptionally well for this price range of sitars. Kolkata sitars, especially the ones made by Kanai Lal we feel have a very responsive & bright sound. This Sitar comes complete with a padded gig bag, extra set of strings & mizrabs. You will not find a better value for money Sitar anywhere, especially one that has been selected and setup by a Professional. In Stock & Ships the following business day!
