The Sursargam model No. 1 is an exquisite full decoration Ravi Shankar style sitar. For quality and value, this is the best sitar you will find. We have these in our inventory in the U.S., and they are each set up in our Urbana, IL shop before shipping. This model has 7 main strings and 13 taraf/sympathetic strings. The finish is a warm mahogany / brown two tone and the carving and penwork are nicely done. The tone and action of this sitar are both very nice. This instrument is well done and a great value. A hard case is included.

The Naeem No. 2 is a Miraj-made, "half-decoration" Karaj Pancham / Ravi Shankar style sitar.
