@cenkjeekhan Thank you for your kind comment! Some artistes refer to deepchandi as chachar.

Consciously navigating 7 (or 14 as you state) is so satisfying. I know the look on your face all to well hahaha. I love your playing, its so vocal, especially for a plucked string instrument! Can you bend greater than a major 3rd? I'm amazed you can go that far haha.

@Wally773MTG thank you for your kind comment! You can bend a perfect fifth on each fret on sitar. That is explored in slower compositions.
