Dano 56-U2 Electric Sitar Converted

My new Electric Sitar. This is a very small demo of how may sound a Dano using the Gotoh Buzz Bridge wich mimics the effect the jawari bridge buzzing and resonating effect.

@PATRICEBUI Updating: One thing that enhanced a bit the strings tension over the bridge, resulting in a better performance, was to wrap the strings from the front of the tailpiece bar and passing them under the bar in the right direction.

hi, i understand that you need a tailpiece in addition to the gotoh buzz bridge. where did you find a tailpiece for your danelectro. thanks!

@danesemike1 I just bought a very cheap one, made for hollowbodies or archtops, I don't know really! Ebay may be an option I suppose, Allparts, GFS, etc.

hello! I got a problem trying to mod my 56 danelectro. I bought the all parts sitar bridge and a all parts tail.

its totally not in tune!

it's not usuable at all, just maybe around the 5 first frets......

I just reallised it cannot be in tune as this new bridge totally changes the diapason of the guitar!

@PATRICEBUI You paid a lot of money for it in allparts, I bought mine on Ebay for almost half the price... but regarding the problem you are getting with it: it's a matter of fine setting it, you must deal with the heights of the 3 screws until it sounds right and tunes right. It's not that easy to find the right spot, but at the end you will get the sound and will stay in tune!

hi mbartolomei i'm going to convert my dano to sitar like yours can it be played in normal concert pitch tuning or is this thing played in open E or D ?whats yours tuned to? thanks ed

[PATRICEBUI]

@mbartolomei thanks! i will try this!

@PATRICEBUI The Gotoh bridge is adjustable and intonates. Adjust the tilt of the bridge. Yours need to come up in the front (the neck side). Use the three screws to adjust the height and then tilt the bridge for your intonation and amount of "buzz".

thanks for the answer! i will try to set it up right!
