Made from seasoned Teak wood, tuned G to G (one full octave) and a two-part counter-balanced bellow system, allowing for maximum air flow. These are perhaps some of the best Shruti boxes available.  Features copper-tipped reeds for a full and well rounded tone with subtle harmonics (often described by our customers as a sweet and warm sound). Specially made for Kala Kendar by a private maker in Kolkata.

Designed in Canada, built in India.  It's about time we started creating instruments specifically for our North American customers. 

Technical specification:

  • Copper reed system
  • G2 - G3, 13 scales
  • Solid Teak reed board
  • 8 lbs (3.6 kg) total weight
  • 40cm x 31cm x 7cm  dimensions

BLEMISHED: Cosmetic scratches/repairs on the finish (of the Instrument, result from shipping damage) The scratches/repairs are barely visible; this has no effect on the performance and playability of the instrument.  We will go the extra mile and send you out pictures of the actual instrument prior to shipping so you can approve the order, assuring that there will be no surprises.

    A good basic introductory book on the Sitar - from India

    Posted by Pat FInnigan on 20th Mar 2013

    st about as good as a book costing twice the price - but without a CD. This book has lots of pictures and diagrams for the complete novice - including tuning instructions and wonderful explanations of Indian music system and it's history as a bonus. Good foundation scales to get started.
