Hi Ajay! Your store is like a musical oasis of sound and musical instruments. I bought a box Tanpura from you in 2005, when I was in India. You carefully tuned a number of them for me to play, so I could decide which one I wanted. Then a vocalist, all dressed in white, came into your store, picked one of them up, put it slightly OUT of tune, and began to play and sing! It was hysterical...
Someday I’ll buy one of this sitars. Beautiful sounds, beautiful instruments.
Thank you so much for your dedication to the making of the most amazing instruments in the world. So blessed am I to be playing a surbahar and a sitar made by you. Hare Om🙏
Many thanks as well for introducing me to Shree Jagdeep Singh Bedi!!
Blessings from France
Thank u for creating this very informative video about sitars Ajay bhai. Really appreciate it.

Beautiful explaination..

You're just amazing. ❤️🙏🏻
Nicely explained Ajay ji.. you are a master in the art of making Sitars
Very nicely explained. Would like to see your very own personal sitar before buying a new one for myself.
Beautifully explained..
thank you for a fantastic explanation
Hi Ajay, I love this video ! Hearing you talk about the qualities of resonance linked to the various traditions touches many sympathetic strings ! ... As I try to restring the sitar of my dear (departed) brother in law Abdul, who brought it overland from Pakistan to Europe in the early 70's... I make ceramic instruments and find myself trying to invent a tradition. I must say, I'm a bit jealous of the depth of the knowledge you and your family have acquired over the years ! Pots are a bit like gourds and it's true, it's all about the thickness. Thank you !
Thanks dear,
You can have a closed Ravi Shankar style as well sir - I have one of yours with a closed Jawari
thank you master
Pumpkin !!! unbelievable
Thank you for de lesson
Please let me know what type and no. ie. thickness of different strings are used in Pt. Ravi Shankar style sitar as well as Ust.Vilayat Khan style sitar ?
v.nice
Saw your Video,liked it very much.sir where is your shop?i am in m.p.near Indore.i want to purchase a good vilayat Khan style sitar.can you send me through courier?what will be the minimum cost?what wood you use in making.i like a light one like calcutta's one.i am an old lady so light one will be easier for me to handle.thank you.
Hello Ajay-ji. Thank you so much for this informative video. I have just started with my first class to elarn the Sitar. The mentor teaches in U. VK style. For a beginner like me, at 37, which style will be easier to learn and grasp initially? And if I wish to make the transition from one style to the other, then shall it be difficult or just not worth to do so?
Thank you very much for the explanation but the music playing in the background is really irritating and it makes your speech inaudible.
Nand in the background on sitar was little loud and disturbing.
I notice your frets in the upper octave notes are bent in a different shape. The curve is sharp and then quickly falls away to almost flat. Why is that? Is it something to do with 'meend' and tension when pulling or is it easier to do 'tonk' on the sympathetic string? If you service my Sitar how long would it take and can you adust my frets to this design? I have moved the main string toward the chickari side to play Da stroke more easily and quickly.
Yes, we can service your sitar & adjust the frets also. We need a weeks time to do it.
@@AjaySharma-dr3nd Thanks for getting back. Next time I am in India I will ask you to do that adjustment for me.
This the Sitar that requires that adjustment..

Do you have rudra veena ?
If not can you suggest where will i get ?
I have been learning for some time now and dream of playing a Rikhiram sitar. How do I procure one ? Are the websites reliable ? There are so many out there . I live outside the country . Thanks in advance
very good and interesting video although the background music is too loud was struggling to hear the man speak.
What's the process to purchase a good sitar.please inform
How much does it cost?
Sir the video was amazing and acknowledging but the background sound was too loud, which made it different to hear clearly what you wese saying.
Which style sitar is best for beginners?
See,
Basic Sa re ga ma is same on both the sitars
But when it comes to advanced playing
Styles change
It totally depends upom your guru's playing style !
The less decoration on the instrument, the cheaper it becomes. Thay is a factor.
depends which style you want to play. Listen to Ravi Shankar and Shujjat Khan and see which style you prefer.
Should I start with small sitar or large sitar?
Also what is single sitar and what is double sitar?
Doesn’t matter as a beginner.
What is the price ? and how to order it ?
Hello. I am looking for a good pickup system for my sitar. Can you recommend me one? Thank you!
Look into contact mics, just a stick on vibration senser
Who
Do I contact to purchase one ?
How can I order this?

What the heck is that loud background racket… really do re upload the video striping off the background noise.
Pumpkin ! ? Pumpkin is used?
Apni bhasha mein boliye sahab.... Ye G .. D... kya hai apne ko samajhta nahi.
Hamare India me Sitar ka sthan bahut ucha hai, but sadly only for few people who like classical music. Yeh classical logonko fark nahi padta F aur G kahnese.
Try to understand that by using western terms of tuning we are pramoting our instrument globally. I think there are much more sitar students outside India.
