Made by Sanjay Sharma, grandson of Rikhi Ram, this is the style of sitar that Pandit Ravi Shankar played in concert in his last years. This is a scaled down instrument. The length is 42 inches and the face measures 12 inches at its widest. The body is carved out of a single piece of wood (no tumba or gourd) and is 3 1/3 inches deep. It has ebony bridges. This instrument plays really well, and is, of course, extremely portable. It comes with a fiberglass case. 

As a handmade instrument this sitar is a work of art. The workmanship is like a Martin Guitar and the sound is like Raviji's sitar.
