Thanks for the compliment but, as this was several years ago, I'm a lot better now. If you check my folder for Munna House Concert 2 you'll see me playing in India last year.
Nick, if this video is of you, it's nice to be able to finally put a face with the name that has provided so many indian classical music and dance videos and information for us.
I bought my first sitar in Rikhi Ram (dehli), i will return to india in August, and i want to buy a good sitar but not in the rihki ram. Do you now anoter god shop with professional sitars? Best wishes
I'm very satisfied with this particular sitar. It has a professional stamp on it &, despite the fact it was bought OUTSIDE Connaught Place, it has all the quality of a much more expensive sitar bought at, say, Rikhi Ram shops in Delhi.
It was bought from a small shop in Pahar Ganj from a gent called Shaan. I'll be seeing him again when I go to Delhi in January next year.
I usually fly into Delhi as I did this time. I met Shaan & got another lovely black sitar from him. He's moved his shop to the big one that used to be called Chopra's.
Thanks for the compliment. I find my playing is getting better all the time. This was recorded last september & I've been back to my teacher since then so there's a difference in playing now.
nice play.. the gamakas come out very well..

I can tell you where I got this sitar from in Pahar Ganj. Not the regular rubbish one usually sees at stupid westerner prices.
Send me a private message & I'll give you the details tomorrow as I'll have to find Shaan's card with his new address on.

Hello Nick,
Did you make the trip to Delhi and did you meet Shaan.
