Premium konsertsitar bygget etter Ravi Shankars spesifikasjoner med aldringstun-tre og håndformet jawari, utarbeidet for profesjonell Maihar gharana-fremføring.
The Ravi Shankar Collection Signature Sitar is the definitive choice for practitioners of the Maihar Gharana style. Eschewing the mass-produced flaws of entry-level exports, this instrument showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of Kolkata's master luthiers. The use of well-aged Tun wood ensures structural stability"a critical factor given the immense tension of the strings"while the hand-selected gourd (tumba) provides a profound, woody resonance that feels alive against the player.
Sonically, it delivers the iconic Kharaj-Pancham character: deep, growling lows and a shimmering treble response. The jawari (bridge) work is exceptionally refined out of the box, offering that signature 'open' buzz that allows sympathetic strings to bloom with incredible sustain. For the serious performer, the playability is sublime; the frets are positioned for precise intonation, and the neck profile facilitates the wide meends (bends) essential to Shankar's compositions.
However, at this price point, it is a significant investment. It requires a dedicated owner who understands the nuances of bridge maintenance and climate control. While the ornate carvings are aesthetically stunning, the true value lies in the tonal complexity and the instrument's responsiveness to subtle touch. It is overkill for a casual hobbyist but remains an indispensable partner for the professional soloist seeking an authentic, concert-ready sound.
