Really sad to note about Shiv and Hari. We used to listen HMV LP of The Call of the Valley. We enjoyed live concert of Kabras's guitar in Akhil Bhartiy sangeet Paishad at C N Vidyalaya Ahmedad in November 1978.
Zakir's level is appropriate, he is supporting Kabra's playing as he should. No need to rock out. Alla Rakha knew well how this is done and his son knows when to relax the virtuosity display.
Beloved Guru Brijbushan- I have found you, since Amazon music seems to have abandoned you. Not even my music list retained you. With Zakirji no less(!) Blessings to all 🕉

What year was this? Looks to be late 1960s. Zakir looks so young. I wonder if Pt. Kabra ever experimented with effects pedals. He could have been a rock star if he had gone that route and toured the US, if he was so inclined.
Some similarities, but also some important differences. Of course, the biggest difference is that Kabraji's is a Gibson Super 400 with strings modified. Both use three melody strings, usually tuned Sa Pa Sa. At least in the early days, the Gibson did not have sympathetic strings, although the later recordings do seem to have some. Mohan Veena has sympathetic strings. Both have chikaris, but the Mohan Veena has a high Sa' chikari (with a jawari) in addition to the three other chikari strings.

बहोत अच्छी, सुरीली, चैनदार, रुदार, तैयार, पेशकश।क्या बात है,जवाब नही।👌👍👏
The sound man has not given the proper sound to Zakir ji🙏 but he always rocks always parnaam
Zakir's level is appropriate, he is supporting Kabra's playing as he should. No need to rock out. Alla Rakha knew well how this is done and his son knows when to relax the virtuosity display.

What year was this? Looks to be late 1960s. Zakir looks so young. I wonder if Pt. Kabra ever experimented with effects pedals. He could have been a rock star if he had gone that route and toured the US, if he was so inclined.
Much later...sometime in the eighties.
Who is on Tabla? Outstanding Sangat .
It looks like Zakir Hussain
Yes its great Tabla maestro Ust.Zakir bhai only!
Ustad Zakir Hussain, son of Ustad Allarakkhan
اسكه راكه كيا نام هي
Beautiful. Is this guitar same as PT. Bhat's MohanVeena?
DR MADHAV KULKARNI No
Similar, Pt BrijBhushan is the earlier.
Some similarities, but also some important differences. Of course, the biggest difference is that Kabraji's is a Gibson Super 400 with strings modified. Both use three melody strings, usually tuned Sa Pa Sa. At least in the early days, the Gibson did not have sympathetic strings, although the later recordings do seem to have some. Mohan Veena has sympathetic strings. Both have chikaris, but the Mohan Veena has a high Sa' chikari (with a jawari) in addition to the three other chikari strings.
Mohan veena is a derivative of this
First of all, please remember that Pt. Biswa Bhatt was a shagird of Pdt. Brij-bhusan Kabra. though Vishwamohan ji never accepts it.
