| This beautiful, austere sitar is made for us by Barun Roy, son of Hiren Roy. It is in the style preferred by Ustad Vilayat Khan and his family. It has 11 sympathetics and is strung without the low PA (Pancham) and low Sa (Karaj) of the Ravi Shankar style sitars. This style of sitar comes without a top tumba (gourd). It has a very sweet sound. |
