The instrument they were making is not a sitar, but a tanpura (the English spelling varies), the fret-less drone instrument used in the background to accompany voice, sitar or other instruments used in Hindustani classical music. The later still images were of sitars.
There are many instruments shown here including Tanpura. There are varieties of string instruments that are played in India. Each one has its own way of making as well as sound quality.Sitar, Sarod, Tanpura,Bina etc. all are different and distinct.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few weeks :)
What is impressive to me as a musician from America where all instruments are made by robots and machines etc is the fact that these Sitar's,Tampura's,Surbahars,Sarod's etc etc are all made by hand with basic hand tools. Hand tools that havent been used by any American based instrument makers like Fender or Gibson maybe ever?? These men deserve much respect for doing their craft with prob little or no recognition and even less money!!!!! While albeit the musician who plays the Sitar crafted by these men gets the fame and the money!!!! I do understand that's just the way the world works I just needed to get these thoughts outta my head and this is my outlet!!!!! BIG RESPECT AND LOVE FOR THE MEN FROM MIRAJ WHO ARE BANGING OUT THE BEST ANS MOST AFFORDABLE INSTRUMENT'S OF TODAY!!!!
Because sound quality differs with each hand-crafted instrument depending on the craftsman. A good craftsman mostly inherits the technique from his predecessors and so on. Famous instrument players, usually buy from a specific shop run by a family of several generations.
Music is so distractive! Creating a chaos...I literally muted the audio 🥺 And the instrument they are making is Tanpura ( A drone instrument ) And the language is seems to be Marathi. So I guess this place is Miraj ♥️
thought: How about gifting it to your mother, A gift that'll hold the memory of ur mother for centuries in ur family tree. and a very good initiation to help our people who protected our antient traditional culture.(thanks to Sitar Makers) and guys! you can even tweet the above thought if u liked it 😊 thank you
These craftsman are from Maharshtra.. Where the round pot like structure is made up of Pumpkin (special species of pumpkin grown in Pandharpur, Maharashtra)
@@AhmedGadwal I brought a Beautiful Sitar From Miraj..! Saraswati Tantu Vadya Kendra.. Miraj., Dist. Sangli Maharashtra. India. - Shrirang Kshatriya Violinists and Sitarist Lonavala Pune Maharashtra India.
you should open your mind if you're interested in music...for me this soundtrack with no sitar at all or indian traditionnal music is a very good idea, it fits the handcrafting and the means at hand of local craftmen; a contrast between modern machine music and these "medieval" conditions of work...
@@gillesbourgeois5348 That's a bit contradictory as these guys depend on Sitar sales for their livelihood so letting people hear what they are producing would seem logical. I agree with you about machine music but the musical culture of India is different from the western one. Even when western instruments are absorbed into Indian music like guitar, for example, (Vishwa Mohan Bhatt) they play Indian music on them. As far as opening my mind, well I have worked on and studied and taught all kinds of music so don't think you can accuse me of that. Even tried fusion musical cultures.
@@LLAWLIETkiracatcher You know North Indian Classical music is a fusion that has developed over centuries. It is a mix of indigenous Indian and external import of Persian music. Even some instruments such as today's Sitar and Sarod are sophisticated developments of Persian Tar and Afghani Rabab.
@@clemalford9768 i know but hindustani and Arabic have similarities both in vocal and instrumental think. But European music is compleatly different from indian music they dont have ragas also they dont have negetive notes instruments with tumbas so it make me feel uncomfortable to listen a furious of the both different genres .

Tanpura
It got really intense at 6:11
The background music spoilt the feel of this atmosphere, still a good video. Really enjoyed it.
1:35 Mr. Belvadere
Great video ! But there was plenty of other choices for background music ..
If you don't like background music, just mute it and enjoy the rest
Wow, seems like you're very open to critics 😅 enjoy your life
@@emiwhd thank you 🙏
I found the fitting of the plastic ornamentation to be lacking in craft. A lot of wood filler used to conceal poor fit.
great visuals..but the background music is beyond abysmal for the subject matter..
Ужас!
The clip would have been better if you could keep the stupid background music off.
if you dont like background music, just mute it and enjoy the rest
That crappy background music turned me right off watching.

Really ? . Actually this western and indian music fusion is irritating me . It is just destroying the beauty of indian classical
