"sitar box"

Posted by linyera guitars on November 27, 2016 at 8:20pm

This is a experimental prototipe made for a friend of mine who wanted an small hindu like sounding instrument, after a research i´ve figured out how to make a jwari bridge, it gives the sitar sound, also i´ve put four harp like strings, for adding more oriental sound. I will post some video or sund sample later.Let me know what you think guys, greatings from argentina!

Very nice. I'd like to see more detailed photos as well, and maybe a sound bite?

I like your concept and design. The cool, antique India instrument-look really works well, aesthetically.

I'd love that. I get a citar sound when my bridge saddle is rounded with no distinct leading edge. How did you do yours?
