| Sitar is cool in the way that the 6 string guitar is but as we are seven stringers I suggest you check out the Vina for some truly exponential mind expansion the Vina is the King of classical Indian musical instruments and was fashioned to imitate the sounds produced by the voices of the Gods that walked the earth at the dawn of time. Balishander (if i spell that right i am surprised but it should be close enough for you to find) has made some recordings that I have in my collection i used to play -exact copy-some of his 'easier' stuff on my extra slinky six string back when i was practicing 12 hours a day.The full metal no fret neck of the sarode is worth checking out as well, but the Vina is truly King. |
