En elektrisk sitar designet for forsterket og opptak-sammenhenger, med pickupsystem som fanger både hoved- og empatiske strengresonanser og innebygd forforsterker med tonekontroller.
The Mangla Pro Electric Sitar is a masterclass in modernizing a centuries-old tradition without stripping its soul. For the touring professional, the transition from the fragile, feedback-prone tumba (gourd) to this solid tun wood construction is a revelation. The craftsmanship is robust, offering a structural stability that traditional instruments lack, making it a reliable road warrior that stays in tune far better than its acoustic counterparts.
Sonically, Mangla has cracked the code with their dual-pickup configuration. While many 'electric sitars' on the market are merely modified guitars, this remains a true sitar. The primary strings ring with a bright, percussive attack, while the dedicated sympathetic string pickup ensures that the essential 'buzz' and harmonic wash remain present even through amplification. However, purists should note that the unplugged resonance is naturally thinner than a full-sized Miraj-style acoustic, a necessary trade-off for high-gain stage use.
Playability is excellent; the neck profile and parda (fret) spacing feel authentic, allowing for deep meends without the strings slipping. It's ideally suited for fusion, psych-rock, or world music performers who need to cut through a dense band mix without feedback. At $1,800, it's a professional-grade investment, but the reliability and plug-and-play convenience make it an essential tool for the modern raga explorer.
