Sitars
The sitar
(Hindi/Sanskrit: सितार, Urdu: ستار) is a plucked stringed instrument.
It uses sympathetic strings along with a long hollow neck and a gourd
resonating chamber to produce a very rich sound with complex harmonic
resonance. Predominantly used in Hindustani classical, sitar has been
ubiquitous in Hindustani classical music since the Middle Ages. This
instrument is used throughout the Indian subcontinent.

This
G. Rosul brand, professional quality, single toomba sitar comes strung
in the 6-string style; with 4 main, 2 chikari and 11 sympathetic
strings, approximately 48-49 inches in length. Includes extra string
set, mizrabs, information and tuning guide (Book or CD-Rom as stock
allows), and nylon case. While most
double toomba sitars are strung in the
7-string style and single toomba sitars in the 6-string style, you can
change the style of your sitar by re-stringing it with the appropriate
number and gage of strings. Single toomba sitars, which have fewer
inlays and carvings, offer an elegant alternative to the double toomba
sitars. Without the small neck resonator these sitar are less top heavy
as compared to the traditional double toomba sitar. The G Rosul company
was founded 25 years ago. The founder of the G Rosul ghar (house), Mr.
Gulam Rosul, was taught the art of making sitars from his father at a
very young age and became a master in the craft. His instruments have
proven to be very popular with several musicians in India. Today his
children carry on the family tradition. Their sitars are renowned for
their tonal clarity and easy playability. Decorations and colors will
vary. These are all individually made and will be unique.
