Homemade Sitar

[TheWOParmy]

What do you have it tuned to?

[thebluesun2]

It's rather similar to a dilruba or a sarod than to a sitar...

[joeharvard]

brilliant ... what i dream of making if i had skills ... been trying to work in a cello fretboard on one of my comparitively pitiful frankenstein creations, but never thought of bowing that bit. One of the things about using 'color' instruments onstage is there's usually only one color to work with per. This does the work of 2 or 3 at once. Great work

[0pteryx]

That's a very interesting construction you've got there! Did you make it after any plans, or did you just improvise?

[schclum]

Hey there's a broken sitar at my local pawn shop, do you think it's worth buying to try and modify? Oh and what strings did you use? Please reply dude your video is awesome!

[dealbahdz]

dude, that´s a kind of Sarod

[josephithink]

are te strings ball ended?

[magodidj]

more like sarangi than sitar:) nice done anyway man! handmade rocks!

[RigorMortisRabbit]

wow! most epic crafting and tunage skillz! truely novel xD

[mattyboy921]

that is fantastic, your creativity and intelligence is...beyond admirable. thanks so much for sharing, truly incredible...

[angelsbeatlesfan]

Looks hard to play

[VoradoMusic]

Played one of my favorite songs off Revolver! Next to I'm Only Sleeping of course XD

[sjlarcadia]

Please teach me ho 2 make it. It sounds awesome. I love how u played within/wiithout you by the Beatles. GO BEATLES!!!!!!!

[almostskater231]

within you without you... good song

[bluetailskink]

that's cool instrument but I'd give it an original name. Reminds me of a banjo with the capabilities of a violin.

[JohnLennonFan22]

is that within you without you by the beatles when you played with the bow

[Cj12sings]

Well this is one of the most innovative instruments I've ever seen, GREAT work!!!

5 stars to you....!!!!!!!

[116connor]

dude you have a few things going for you, you're probably smart as shit cause you built a sitar that looks like a manufactured instrument, second, you know how to play the sitar and probably a few other instruments, and you can play the sitar with a bow, my hat's off to you man. keep on jammin, music keeps you young.

[MrROTD]

A+ for innovation

[MrFantasmes]

This is great! honestly, how much would you charge me if i asked you to build one for me?

[brncrvr]

@MrFantasmes Thanks! Send me an email if you would really like an instrument like this.

[TSOguitarist1993]

this is too good to be true. you should totally patent this instrument!

[MrCraigary123]

wow never seen some one use a bow on a sitar thats cool nice i hear the beatles tune within or without you

[juacimm]

props to you man. ingenuity makes this world go round so keep doin what your doin!

[brncrvr]

Thanks, I will!

[singingatul]

@brncrvr can you contact me somehow. i wanna buy this. i'm also sitarist.

[Lightercutt]

Beatles haha winnnnn

but you don't play sitar with a bow Xd

[lizardkingvoodookid]

cool beans  very inovative!!!

[AdonijahAvenged]

i think this is a fantastic idea!!!

i like how you mixed bowed strings with plucked strings!

keep working on the playing. i'd really like to hear you rock out on this thing man!

[Teenagefreedomfightr]

Two thumbs for Beetles cover attempt lol.

[jacktheripped]

you caught that, too? ;)

[falaqdad15]

beautiful look and sound

[paulbnoble]

the inner light??

you've got wicked skills.

i'm needin' a new banjo... hmm...

[jshsitar]

This is closer to a dilruba or esraj.

...which is a cross between a sitar and a sarangi.

[ThatsABiggon]

Yes! I'm so glad you finally posted it! It's sounds amazing, but the concept is even more brilliant than the beatiful tone. The coils are genius. Love that clock effect. I wanted it before, but I really want to buy it now!

[ThatsABiggon]

Now I must hear the guitar & the six string banjo

[Rahmemhotep]

sounds absolutly nothing like a siter. it is real cool tho. you should name it >.>

[TheBanjoBoy]

That thing is cool.

[sparkyfiddle]

Excellent! Mean machine! Can't wait to see the next version...

[rottenhubert]

Okay, that thing is very, very cool.

[brncrvr]

Thanks! It has a lot of potential. I hope to build a better one soon.

[bluedanbob]

I remember seeing a picture of this instrument a while back. Nice to see it in action.
