Product Description
This Natraj brand, single toomba sitar is from Bhargava & Co. It comes strung in the 6-string style; with 4 main, 2 chikari and 12 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 gauge of strings. Single toomba sitars, which have fewer inlays and fewer carvings, offer an elegant alternative to the double toomba sitars. Without the small neck resonator these sitars are less top heavy as compared to the traditional double toomba sitar. Bhargava & Co. was established in 1948 as wholesalers of musical instruments. Today they are a manufacture and a leading exporter of musical instruments. Decorations and colors will vary. These are all individually made and will be unique.

not tooo bad.
By Jon McKinney
I just got the sitar 2 days ago, and all in all its not bad at all. Although there are a couple thing i thought i should share with you. One is that the tuning pegs slide a little when your first tuning it. But, put some side walk chalk on there, and that fixes that. Than the second thing is, my gig bag i got that it came with had a hole in it. I wasn't to happy about that. It was just where a seam was. But, you can stitch that up i suppose. Those are the 2 major things, but there isn't much minor. I broke a string while tuning it for the first time, but i don't think thats a big deal. Also, theres some paint screw ups hear and there. Like, its not detailed at all. I mean, it doesn't look horrible, but there are some details that are off. There is also some crap inside the body of the sitar that i cant get out. It just falls down like a rain stick when i put it upside down. Not as drastic as a rain stick how ever. Thats about all though. Only comes with one Mezrab, which I thought it came with more. But oh well. The book mine came with is very nice and informational.
